High Tide Songtext
von Emily Portman

Sail me city to heavens below
Sail me city into depths of dark
Sail me city into the hook of the estuary
Sail me city to the clutch of the heart

Unto the high seas
Under surfaces
Through sunken shadows
From old oil-lit[?] shores

To the feline jaw
Of a tidal swish
And the bright-eyed bite
Of the cormorant

Sail me city to heavens below
Sail me city into depths of dark
Sail me city into the hook of the estuary
Sail me city to the clutch of the heart


I want the wild wet
And the long depths
Strong undertow
And tidal concerns

But the harbour lights
Are drawing me in
I fear dry land
Sand banks and stone

Sail me city to heavens below
Sail me city into depths of dark
Sail me city into the hook of the estuary
Sail me city to the clutch of the heart

And hold me river
In the filth of the storm
Bring salt from my paws
Let my eyes colour dawn

City sail me away from settled land
Into ocean′s wreck and wrath
Back into land
(Back into land)
Back into land
(Back into land)
Back into land


Please do not leave me earthbound
(Sail me city to heavens below)
Please do not leave me earthbound
(Sail me city into depths of dark)
Please do not leave me earthbound
(Sail me city into the hook of the estuary)
Please do not leave me earthbound
