lyrics

Solid gold lodged in the rock.
We were looking for iron but the gold wouldn’t stop
We drew lots on the boat to see who would die.
While I was asleep you drew better than I.
Here’s something nobody ever says:
I don’t feel alone when I’m in Chalybes.
But I’m as cold and dead as these rocks.
No one hears when I wail on the docks.

Something old at the bottom of the sea.
It was crawling like a slave, dying to be free.
I swan to the shore, fell asleep on the rocks;
Was awoken by ghosts of the Argonauts.
Here’s something nobody ever says:
I don’t feel alone when I’m in Chalybes.
But I’m as cold and dead as these rocks.
No one hears when I wail on the docks.
