Tangier

from Ruine by The Earthly Frames

/

about

with sincere hope to the people of Tangier Island.

lyrics

Softshell in the ghost trap
waiting for a pull that never comes

Golf carts float upside down
out near where the markers washed away

Rot tide tugs pilings down
That dock is buoyed up by prayers alone

The outside men they talk of carbon,
they talk of apes
They say the waters will rise and
that there is no escape
Well, the waters killed the Pharaoh’s men
Sometimes you have to drown the world to start it back up again

It’s his will, it’s his order
One nation cried underwater

This town ain’t built upon stone
Settled bones sleep through the airish ‘morn

I’ll stay, I’ll never leave
Until the island is swallowed whole

All gone, swept away like a third
of the stars in the heavens
