Lyrics:
take me out to the edge of the sky
fill me with laughter and a lopsided smile roll back the waves that cloud my eyes
I want to dance with the whales for a while

there’s a message in a bottle from fourteen hundred and ninety-two shipwrecked sailors on a rock
a stone’s throw away from the village they plundered “Our time is up, no more shall we count
the clicks of the clock

“beware, beware with sea-weed in her hair a mermaid strums a haunted mandolin she’ll take you deeper into the maze
past the point where you’ll survive
by doing tricks with your chin

“the sleepers of the deep sweep from shore to floor chances are slim you’ll come back the same
and if you wish to return to the shore
I’ll teach the gentle Vikings to remember your name.”

so drain me away to the far-flung sea
measure me with mystery, weigh me with wonder slip me away between the sheets
over the top and all the way under
