The Copa

You're long blond in hair of heavy salty sea

A curtain when it closed over and above me

Locked the vicious sun like the wings of passing gulls

Empty you held nothing, hollow as the washed-up shells

I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind

Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind

A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find

Oh, I still wake up in the morning with the Copa on my mind

Sitting on the rock that looked onto the ocean

Walking to the waves as they brewed a magic potion

Calling them like faithless dogs, your commands and whims

While the crashing on the rocks rose to the sky like ancient hills

I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind

Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind

A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find

Oh, I still wake up in the morning with the Copa on my mind

You knew it was the end as you watched me from the gate

I waved my boarding pass and didn't hesitate

Security, security, I took off my shoes

Turned around and you were gone

Woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
