March to the Sea

There was an anchor
There was a silver-sweet refrain
You tucked your fingers in between my troubled bones
And what you did next was second-to-none
You really let us down
You tied yourself up
And jumped in the sea
Never to come home

Valium, you left me all alone
Tell me when I will be whole again

There was a whisper
Once there were heralds and parades
You sang your secrets through the tolling of the tide
The fugitive room, the amateur tombs
The silence and the cries
The quickening beat
Your march to the sea
Never to return

Sweet morphine, you've taken all of me
Let me know when you will let me go

Heroin, where did you take my friend?
Tell me why those ropes are hanging high

Valium, you left me all alone
