I Whale - Mount Eerie[00:00:00]
So I set out on the sea[00:00:07]
With a little food for me[00:00:11]
And a sharp harpoon[00:00:14]
For the whale that I'm hunting[00:00:17]
The fine women on the shore[00:00:22]
They called out give us more[00:00:27]
But I have nothing[00:00:31]
To give as if I did before[00:00:32]
Before my house burned down last night[00:00:38]
And I killed my friends in a fight[00:00:42]
So like I said I paddled out[00:00:46]
In mourning light[00:00:49]
To see if I could see[00:00:53]
A shape come from the deep[00:00:57]
Or if I could hear it's song of love at night[00:01:01]
Taunt me[00:01:05]
And though I know I'm getting some[00:01:08]
My fingers are getting numb[00:01:13]
I sit and toss[00:01:17]
And the cold waves wash over me[00:01:18]
And I've been out here for sixty days[00:01:24]
There's no sign of spout or spray[00:01:28]
And the cold dark night[00:01:31]
Falls down on the flat black sea[00:01:34]
In the calm I close my eyes[00:01:39]
I lean back[00:01:43]
Rock from side to side[00:01:44]
I am placid[00:01:47]
The night has slowly gone starry skies[00:01:48]
With half closed eyes[00:01:56]
But with a thump thump beneath my boat[00:02:02]
Watch the water rise[00:02:05]
And storms rage and my[00:02:10]
Skiff crumbles[00:02:15]
And the whale beneath[00:02:18]
Assails and humbles[00:02:21]
It says[00:02:25]
Knock knock from beneath[00:02:27]
You know it's me[00:02:30]
I'm your heart[00:02:33]
I'm a whale on the bottom of the deep black sea[00:02:34]
My mouth[00:02:38]
Is wide and toothy[00:02:39]
