Carrion - British Sea Power

Carry on inside of your heart

Under the brine you won't notice the dark

Can stone and steel and horses heels ever explain the way you feel

From Scapa flow to Rotherhithe I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds

The salt the spray the gorgeous undertow

Always always always the sea

Brilliantine mortality

Irrigate your heart until you know your complete

And your draped in kelp below by 8 000 feet

My soul she cried I thought you'd died amid fumes of formaldehyde

You have been gone for so long I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds

The salt the spray the gorgeous undertow

Always always always the sea

Brilliantine mortality
