British Sea Power Carrion lyrics

Carry on inside of your heart
Under the brine you won't notice the dark
And can stone and steel and horses heels ever explain the way you feel?
From Scapa flow to Rotherhithe, I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
Always, always, always the sea
Brilliantine mortality

So irrigate your heart until you know your complete
And your draped in kelp, below by 8,000 feet
My soul she cried I thought you'd died amid fumes of formaldehyde
You have been gone for so long I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide
On my love, I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
Always, always, always the sea
Brilliantine mortality


When this Corpus Christic isle became a land of ocean blue
Again she cried, you turned my eye
At mentions of no matter why
And in the end an August sun
And one by one [Incomprehensible]
Until the [Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
Always, always, always the sea
Brilliantine mortality

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
Always, always, always the sea
Brilliantine mortality
