about

borrowed my sister's banjo for this. Recorded in Dayton, OH

lyrics

the wind fills our sail
as we headed northeast
to find our whale
we didn't come to kill
all we wanted in return was a house on the hill

you were cutting me sharp
like a blazing knife straight through my heart
you were mine so far
and only in time could I lose it all

take me out to sea
and we were floating to the beat

battles go on so long
the ocean blood red though the sun is gone
I'll bury you at sea
build a monument without a street

tell me now if you don't wanna go
bottle and message floats just as well as us
but I'll make sure that it's quite a show
take these butterflies out of my stomach
