My Bay

Across the bay now
Past our home towns
Backlit for one last glimpse
Of surging shoals and autumn browns

Stay wicked
You are forgiven
All are forgiven now that
Alms abound in escape routes

Sunset lights the way
Above my bay
There's a deeper darker torrent
One mile high
So if you're feeling bold or brave now
Wave bye-bye
As the contrails vanish in southern skies

Above my bay
At the first sign of tears
They turn their heads away
Yet so transfixed
By the blood on the highway
And the vestiges of a virile heart
Are pulsing me so far away

You were desperate
So you used me
Don't say your sorry's yet cause
I've abused most everything

Still I'm doomed
And better off dead
So don't throw away just yet
Those voodoo dolls darling
I'm hanging on by a thread

Sunset lights the way
Above my bay
There's a deeper darker torrent
One mile high
So if you're feeling bold or brave now
Wave bye-bye
As the contrails vanish in southern skies

Above my bay

They bring it in
They cut it right in front of me
I'm so transfixed
By the blood on my highways
And the vestiges of a virile heart
Are pulsing me so far away

Across the bay now
Past our home towns
Don't throw away just yet
Those voodoo dolls darling
I'm hanging on by a thread

Sunset lights the way
Above my bay
There's a deeper darker torrent
One mile high
So if you're feeling bold or brave now
Wave bye-bye
As the contrails vanish in southern skies

Above my bay
