Estuary Bed Lyrics - The Triffids

The children are walking back from the beach 

Sun on the sidewalk is burning their feet 

Washing the salt off under the shower 

And just wasting away, wasting away 

the hours and hours and hours 

Come on, climb over your father's back fence 

For the very last time we'll take the shortcut 

across his lawn 

Then lie together on the estuary bed 

Perfectly still, perfectly warm 

Sleep no more 

Sleep is dead 

Sleep no more on the estuary bed 

Ache no more 

Old skin is shed 

Sleep no more on the estuary bed

I see you still 

I know not rest 

Silt returns along the passage of flesh 

I hear your voice 

I taste the salt 

I bear the stain, it won't wash off 

I hold you not 

but I see you still 

What use eyesight if it should melt? 

What use memory covered in estuary silt? 

I know your shape 

Our limbs entwined 

I know your name, remember mine 

Sleep no more 

Sleep is dead 

Sleep no more on the estuary bed 

Ache no more 

Old skin is shed 

Sleep no more on the estuary bed
