"There Is No Ship" lyrics

"There Is No Ship"

Is no ship that can bear me hence
I am bound to these shores
I'll be bound till the end
For my tears fill the rain
And my blood fills the dock (Oh)
And there is no ship that can carry my heart

I'm built out of dew drops
And bramble and burr
I sing with the black bird
And dance with the fire
My hands hold the secret
The acorn can't tell
My body, the hillside
That echoes the bell

There is no ship that can bear me hence
I am bound to these shores
I'll be bound till the end
For my tears fill the rain
And my blood fills the dock (Oh)
And there is no ship that can carry my heart

This land is my bloodline
My breakfast, my bed
I've slept in her arms while she breathed on my head
She's caught in my voice
And she's colors my veiw
She gave me the road
And then she gave me to you

There is no ship that can bear me hence
I am bound to these shores
I'll be bound till the end
For my tears fill the rain
And my blood fills the dock (Oh)
And there is no ship that can carry my heart

There is no ship that can bear me hence
I am bound to these shores
I'll be bound till the end
For my tears fill the rain
And my blood fills the dock (Oh)
And there is no ship that can carry my heart

There is no ship
There is no ship
There is no ship that can carry my heart
There is no ship
There is no ship
There is no ship that can carry my heart
