Shipwreckers

Quiet was the house that greets us tonight The breach of the logs, the peat catches light The storm hardly a curse for it got us back inside Before midnight turned morning and we both realised We needed alone there are moments in each life  And this was just one, but how many will you have  Well carried the wind that jumped in the stove That harried the fire that warmed through our clothes As we watch through the glass with towels on our backs The mischief in our minds whispered in our ears Warming the body, soaked to the bone Grateful for the rain for driving us back home The shipwreckers' lights a-wild in the sea We neither say a word, they're providing all we need The shipwreckers' tails are running through my mind I offer a quick prayer to those caught out tonight Your head against my arm, wet hair against my face And you're the girl I want and this is the place
