lyrics

In crepuscular light,
when the sphinx moths set things right,
you in dew-tainted air thought you might give up the fight
'til we both sang to the night:

Send the ships and the sequins down 'til they drown.
Find some ropes and some whales and sound--
we're chuckin' the shrouds, we're singin' all the gods down.
When they fall phosphorescence bounds
across the bay
where we sit hand in hand and lay
our heads on the sand--we're laughing up at the day.

When we sing that long song,
hibiscus, coconut palms
curl from out of thin air and multiply until dawn--
a cushion of right against wrong.
