MOG

I see the lighthouse
I know that this is what you want
They call them rogues
Four months of calm seas
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
The morning finds our bodies
I spoke the words but never gave
But the wrong will strand you
Sends your words past your lips

But this ain't the Dakota and the water's cold
(This is the calm)

(After the storm)
(After the storm)
(We are impressive)
To give my love and repay debts
You know that you are not alone
I am the one who haunts your dreams
I need you like water in my lungs
It steers the whole ship
Or dashed to bits on the reef
(Wrecked in the deep)
The vessel groans
One hundred foot faces
Through still and storm
The hole in the hull defied the crew's attempt
The ocean pressures its frame to the port
Half-buried bow
I spoke the words but never gave
Off the tip of Montauk Point
What they call love is risk
On and on until we disappear
They travel fast and alone
And I wish for one more day

Of mountains sunk below the sea
I know that this is what you want
You breathed while you were underneath
(This is the end)

When the storm broke our second anchor line
To bail us out
(This is the end)
A thought to what they all could mean

Through the sleet and the rain
By some wave and end up on your own
You know that you are not alone
Keeps them safe behind your teeth

Sweep your boat out to sea

Calm me and let me taste the salt
(Wrecked in the deep)
A funeral keeps both of us apart
(Washed up on the beach)

This story's old but it goes
You breathed while you were underneath
I need you like water in my lungs
To be pounded in the shallows
This story's old but it goes
Of mountains sunk below the sea
Won't have to fight for long

Your tongue is a rudder

'Cause you always get hit out of nowhere
(We are drowning)
Four months at sea
(This is the calm)
(Washed up on the beach)
Calm me and let me taste the salt
A funeral keeps both of us apart
On and on until we disappear

Washed up thirty miles west
Come off course while you sleep
Flooded the engines and radio
I am the one who haunts your dreams
A thought to what they all could mean
They say that the captain stays fast with the ship
