Friendboats Lyrics

Send some friendboats made from wood bones
For all that I have known has rowed away from this coast
And carve me a mask from the safety of their decks
And make me a dress from their masts

For I have never known such missing of that breaking water
No, I have never known such missing of that breaking water
No, I have never known, such missing of that breaking water
So when I go, please when I am gone
When I go, please whem I am gone
Burn me with their bows
Toss some saving golden ropes to
Let us set anchor so far away from this coast
And close off this darkness with curtains of sails
And cast it forever into the chests of the whales

For I have never known such missing of that breaking water
No, I have never known such missing of that breaking water
No, I have never known, such missing of that breaking water
So when I go, please when I am gone
When I go, please whem I am gone
Burn me with their bows
