On My Feet Again

Long day, I’ll tell you how it went:
we come back two souls lighter than the way we left.
The earth moved when I set ground again.
I’ve still got my sea legs and I’m falling over them.

I’m not proud of myself watchin’ her go down …

I still can’t stand
to think about her sinkin’ in.
I still can’t stand,
but I’ll soon be on my feet again.

They both stopped knee deep in the stone
with a short haul overboard, done before I’d know.
On I went tossed about the sea.
The floorboards rise and fall, up and down beaneath my feet.

I still can’t stand
to think about her sinkin’ in.
I still can’t stand,
but I’ll soon be on my feet again.

If I’d only found her in that bed alone,
I wouldn’t be here waiting for the spinning earth to slow.
