Lyrics for Sinking Ship by Neutral Milk Hotel:
| | | Artist: | Neutral Milk Hotel |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Sinking Ship | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 120 | | | | Lyrics: | Sinking ship-
How long can you hold still?
Your illness spills against my face
Sinking
ship-
How long can you hold still?
Oh, can't you feel the coming waves?
A perfect
Sunday portrait of my mother painting horses all alone
Of lovers and of leaves still believing
they are free to come and go
Sinking ship-
How long can you hold still?
Your
illness is all that you are
A portrait of my father as a baby sleeping underneath the
stars
A small pill of forgiveness I am giving to myself
It's what I need
A small gift of
fulfillment I am hoping you will open and receive
Sinking ship-
How long can you hold
still?
Your illness fills this empty room
A portrait of your lover softly drowning in the
water
A perfect Sunday portrait of my mother sending signals through the drum
A portrait of
my sadness finding shelter in the safety of my home | | | |
