Shearwater - Silver Bodies Lyrics

Shearwater Lyrics

"Silver Bodies"

Cull the silver bodies from the waves-
Their shimmering lives in your fingers
Call the coral islands from the bay and a mountain will rise
(Hide away, hide away)
Lay the little bones among the reeds
And hide in the light of the ages
Curl the bloody moon around the clouds and pull in the tide
(Hide away, hide away)
And all will be carried away
In the surge and the wash of the waves
To arrive on the shores of the islands
Where the bodies will rise
