lyrics

From a nest with no crows
The mariner knows not
Where the weird fishes go
But he knows the curve of the globe
The curve sailors always have known

The things you think you know
An uncle named his boat for
A shitehawk bully bird oh
Now he knows it's a pirate of the foam
Only laughs now the name's painted on

Walking between the rain
Between the weather
Wondering whether
You'll keep it together
Wondering at the will
To make such endeavour

When the weather means your life
You listen for the signs
And the Rain Goose calls the time
Take your boats and lay your lines
The wrong song means you stay behind

Walking between the rain
Between the weather
Wondering whether
You'll keep it together
Wondering at the will
To make such endeavour
