Intro

Verse

The latest spade to build a moat
A ship to mend and send afloat
And all the fishes in the sea
Around the sides of my country
Will follow ship to where she lies
And close in fruitless sleep her eyes
And disconnect and comfort me
Safe in the arms of my country

Chorus

Her water slips from high
And peels me where I lie

Peels me where I lie
