Cast A Hook In Me Lyrics - Laura Veirs

Breathe life to the street from the mouth 

Those ruby red lips have much to give 

Pull life from the land with your capable hands 

Those life loving beautiful broken hands 

Oh, I'll stand with you and marvel 

At the cosmos pink and bright 

All the pages flipping backwards 

Til time is gone and wrong is right 

Rivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea 

Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Sing me a salty blue song, I'll be gone 

With watery cheeks down flowered lanes 

Tattered sails on a ramshackle ship, I'll go pale 

Staring straight in the face looming tempest waves 

Otherwise I'll wither and die here 

On this reach of rubble rambling 

With two years filled up with sand, dear 

In a broken daze I'll be scrambling 

Like rivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea 

Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me 

Photos 

Summer sky falling into the sea, taking part of me 

See the bones on the sand in the light 

All the heards of the sea rushing by, pay no mind 

To the dancing reflections gone wild 

And at night a fractured star fell 

And pierced right through the thick of me 

I cried out in pain and joy, yes 

I'm not dead, not numb, not withering 

Like a falling leaf who keeps her green 

I'm turning bright in the sea 

Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me
