Great Waves - Dirty Three

Last boat, stand in the river

Muddy river, high, eye-level

Hawk flying, is fooling his folly

Gas hurricanes spread over Heaven

Weeping willow

Is bawling goodbye

On fire

Humans running for cover

Wishing for life, gripping the light

House lift up, trees lift out

Cars intersect in the middle of the sky

All time fell

No pull, no gravity on the ground

Given up, it’s over

The world’s weight is over limit

Our bodies are exploding

As the sky spills through our mouths

All the blue blood is flowing

The cities, its contents have been ripped out

The world is gone

Did you know you could last this long?

You made it to the dark, now you’re gone

You are gone

Great waves

Frozen in a secret space

Great big place

Dark, spilling universe

Last boat, stand in the river
