Calling home

from Patterning by Martijn Duiven

/

lyrics

I just keep falling over bodies and souls calling home.
But I catch myself and they just don’t seem to mind.
Say that you love her or fly back alone.
A mistake that I made, but always stood behind.
Leave with my mistress my weary bones.
To be the animal babe, and never leave the island.
Why do you stop me from saying hello?
I cannot dial out of shame and hear their voice on mine.
Wave while you drown like a sinking stone.
Try and smile to the rest while my legs are tiring out.
Heavens to he who hears the siren’s songs.
I am tied to the mast and they won’t get me down.

A line, a river
I’ll open to you I’ll open up to you
A dam I’ll overflow

Why do you stop me from saying hello?
Be a man again and savour the sound.
Wave while you drown like a sinking stone.
What isn’t chained to the legs cannot hope to take me down.
Heavens to he who hears the siren’s songs.
I get rid of the wax and fly from this town.

Return to heaven
It’s open to you son, come and bathe in it
And Time?
Time I’ll make a line, a river
to open to you and drink from.
A dam I'll overflow.
