lyrics

words /

I stayed with you when the ship went down
A toast to the ghost of the Alkimos

Trailing whales at King George Sound
Farewell to the coast that you loved the most

And when she looks over her shoulder she sees it converge
Every river and every object submerged

When it gets darker we’ll pack all our things away

And late at night when I lay my head
Start to feel my best, like I’m good to go

It’s lonely and white like a wedding dress
Parked behind glass on Sydney Road

And when she looks over her shoulder she sees it converge
Every river and every object submerged

When we get older we’ll give all our things away
