Rupa & the April Fishes Follow

i used to dream of a pirate ship

that would take me away from here

out to the open sea into the biggest blue

complete with a cast of unsavory crew

who’d show me things that i shouldn’t do

the masts were tall and impressive

the old wood creaked perfectly too

and the full sails held promises of something true

and when we’d get bored of the watery view

we’d simply set our course for the moon

to my surprise as i’ve grown older

living these days like dreams with you

i’ve discovered the ship waits inside my chest

and the winds fills its sails on the days i like best

but where it takes me, it takes me alone

to do this strange work i barely know

now i don’t know when the tides will call me

away from this sweet life with you

and i wish that i could stay forever

even though since i was young i knew there was never

such a thing but this wishful thinking

keeps our stories rising as our lives are sinking

in time i will kiss you goodbye

on my way and kiss you goodbye

don’t want to go

and i’ll kiss you goodbye
