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
