Mearcstapa lyrics

[At sail on open ocean]1

Two lines in the air

Two eyes on the pair

Mearcstapa, on an open sea

But you turn away

No falling today

No wind in the night

You're putting slack in the lines

The eyes of the sea

So easy to meet

Mearcstapa, deaf and blind like me

And the foam doesn't sing

The phone doesn't ring

So what will you find,

Mearcstapa of mine?

This album tells a story, so these function like scene headings in a screenplay and give additional information and context to the lyrics. This song is a continuation of "If You Need To, Keep Time On Me" and the story is continued in the next song, "On Another Ocean (January / June)."
