Lyric video: youtu.be/YfHOtsAV_-k

lyrics

Looking out on the bay, we’re alone on emerald water, languid, following the current and the lust-sick air in this strait that takes us through these latitudes.

You’re shaping your nails in the breeze of the mid-morning, slowly polishing acrylics like the ones you used to break before I gave you luxury.

All I’ve ever wanted has come to me here along the captive coast, but freed from desire I’m drifting out here on the easterlies, far from home.

The pleasures of the table, all of this indulgence, wasted these years in the doldrums: the things you want can all change as soon as they’re enjoyed.

I hardly remember the days when I’d just left Vancouver, starving, following a fortune and when you’d sing for your wage in a squalid seaside road...

All I’ve ever wanted has come to me here along the captive coast, but freed from desire I’m just drifting here on the easterlies, far from home.
