I've been building black ships In the arms of a man i'd forgotten He rings the bell he's holding He's ringing in the changes Only we are left Maybe it's our january heads If only we could cast off all our limbs Then we would learn to start again Apart from every thing we once knew You as if you could be Dancing like a tiger A tiger with such timing And me A flower in a frenzy Hour after hour Saw you build the ship Tangle them in branches But i can't feel my hands anymore And i've been building black ships All that i've seen i've forgotten The heart's curtain lifts The metal shakes itself Where are you now
