She's A Sea Captain

I was thinking, drinking, thinking,
of a girl I know.
Where does she come from,
is she for real, no one really knows.

She knows the colors,
she smells the smoke.
She knows the answer,
before I even tell the joke.

She's a sea captain o-o-
riding on the deep black sea.
She's a sea captain o-wo-wo-woe
sailing the waves across a stormy sea.

Silver dreaming kitchen,
the Angel outside the window, clattering.
Puppet-like grey and shrivelled,
like a torn curtain.

A glowing light with stone people,
of of reach.
I lit my pipe as birds laughed,
we stood in the tower/house, curiously,
wandered the stairs and levels.

She's a sea captain,
she translates the smashed paper airplanes.
She's a sea captain o-o
with a rare beast clinging to her overcoat.

Salt breeze and patience,
a small silver thing in her hand.
She slammed the door and it made a crackling noise,
her fingers were long and golden/white.

She's a sea captain... [etc.]
