Morning Songtext
von Maija Sofia

I miss you when I find the grains of sand in my pocket
Lying in love notes from the ocean
And it′s strange way that time corrodes things
My shoes filled up with water
You put fish bones in my hands
As the black and briny sea tried to swallow up the land
And I'll never heed another man or his salty commands
I′ll do exactly as I please with my own salty hands

You were good for me and it shows
I was hideous, heaven knows
How ugly to think I could fix you
And all the ugly things that I would do
And I'm starting to

I miss you in the morning yellow light
When I haven't yet remembered that their presence
Is just some shapeless outline
But the sea wind blows me awake
The surf and spray shock me to shape
And I am not yet unafraid of our potential for mistake


I miss you as the dusk falls
Spent the whole day getting bored
I heard they started building ugly flats along the shoreline
And it was bleak and awful already
But sure what′s a few blocks more
When someone′s making money from those pebble dash eyesores
So tell me did you settle down?
Did you find another girl?
I don't think of you so much these days
Still I hope I′m prettier than her

Nothing can corrode me now
Of that I am sure
When I lick the salt from my fingertips
I never thirst for something more

And anyway these days I live just up from the square
Where on sunny days the smell of the brewery hangs in the air
Sometimes I think about the strange flat we shared
With all the antique furniture waiting to be repaired
And sometimes we'd hear the floors creak upstairs
And on bad nights you′d whisper my name like a prayer

The louder you chant your psychotic dithyramb
You were summoning some devil from the space between our hands
And I hope you can forgive me
There's only so much I can stand
And now you are gone
All I′ve got's these pockets full of sand
