Bite my blue skin
Let your teeth sink in
Taste my fruit baby
Summer, summer, summer, summer
Sink your teeth in
Blue skin, blue skin
Taste my fruit baby
Summer, summer, summer, summer

I just thought he was asleep
And then I realised he wasn't breathing
I didn't know what to do
So I called you

Without a fixed destination
And only a vague fantasy to give me guidance
I cruised through the lavender vapour
Draping the fields of flickering bulbs
Giving them a more friendly glow
Softening the blow of the heavy wind
Offering my boat a protective coat of mist
Swans by my side, my devoted compasses
Keep me gliding smoothly
And remind me to stick with it
They let me get sick with it, if I want to
If I fall back into bed
Their wavering stamina mirrors my own exhaustion
From the years of rowing, rowing, rowing, rowing
Cough
Their coughing and heaving
Their strained breathing rests on me
I welcome it
It breaks up the quiet periods
And keeps me company when I lose track of myself

Throw the rope out to the sea
Sail away boy
Sail away little boy
