About the Artist
Lyrics
So I set out on the sea With a little food for me And a sharp harpoon for the whale that I'm hunting The fine women on the shore They called out "give us more!" But I have nothing to give (as if I did before) Before my house burned down last night And I killed my friends in a fight So like I said, I paddled out in morning light To see if I could see A shape come from the deep Or if I could hear it's song of love at night taunt me And though I know I'm getting some My fingers are getting numb I sit and toss and the cold waves wash over me And I've been out here for sixty days There's no sign of spout or spray And the cold dark night falls down the flat black sea And in the calm I close my eyes I lean back, rock from side to side I am placid, I have slowly gone starry skies With half closed eyes But with a 'thump' 'thump' beneath my boat Watch the water rise And storms rage in my skiff crumbles And the whale beneath assails and humbles It says: "Knock knock!" from beneath "You know it's me! I'm your heart, I'm a whale I'm the bottom of the deep black sea My mouth is white and toothy"
