about

burial at sea

lyrics

Raft

In faraway harbours
they’d make a raft
set your body out to sea
lay you out
on a raft of driftwood
and
push your body out to sea.
come home

and I salute you from the shallows
wading out to watch the lanterns shine and fade
we brought you, washed you, made you holy
and
pushed your body out to sea
come home

And there will be no exultated rescue.
And there will be no litany of your treasure.
There will be no sound except the sea,
sigh, cry, wave on wave
no sound except the shore
come home
