Port Children

Held up high

Eyes towards the sky

Maybe we stay

Wait out the day

Don’t know the hour

In the swaying tower

Something at sea

Looks back at me

Children they grow in the morning

Evenings they spin out alone

I’ve seen them wake

The truth and the folly undone

This is the way

We’ve come to play

Clever as one

Dodging the sun

Wander with sound

Drift into town

Something at sea

Looks back at me

Tear it all down

Build from the ground

Nothing can be

Left by the sea

And it may seem

That we only dream

Something at sea

Looks back at me

Children they grow in the morning

Evenings they spin out alone

I’ve seen them wake

The truth and the folly undone
