"The Copa" lyrics

Your long blonding hair of heavy salty sea
Like a curtain when it closed over and above me
Locked the vicious sun like the wings of passing gulls
Empty you held nothing, hollow as the washed-up shells

I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind
A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find
Oh, I still wake up in the morning with the Copa on my mind

Sitting on the rock that looked onto the ocean
Walking to the waves as they brewed a magic potion
Calling them like faithless dogs, your commands and whims
While the crashing on the rocks rose to the sky like ancient hills

I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind
A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find
Oh, I still wake up in the morning with the Copa on my mind

You knew it was the end as you watched me from the gate
I waved my boarding pass and didn't hesitate
Security, security, I took off my shoes
Turned around and you were gone

Woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
