Marinera

Marinera you forget
That I no longer want to dream of your flavor
You have let the memory of that love
Drift away like this

You tied me to your forgetfulness
More lost than that rudderless ship
You got involved in the vessel of ambition
You got close to a good match

But I want a ticket to your boat and throw that betrayal overboard
And in your hold spend the night again as a stowaway
I keep drinking you cup after cup and can't bail out all the pain
That knot tied inside me doesn't loosen

Marinera give me thread
Don't sink my heart again
And if the current drags me to your corner
Give me shelter in your port

I'm adrift, Marinera
Without direction, papers, or script
Just adrift in my seas of sorrows
Or drowned in one more rum

And on that beach don't leave your mark, my waves already cried over it
And every night my reason erases and repaints them
And from the pocket of my pants that sand fell into the room
Where I wrote the lyrics to your song

But I want a ticket to your boat and throw that betrayal overboard
And in your hold spend the night again as a stowaway
I keep drinking you cup after cup and can't bail out all the pain
That knot tied inside me doesn't loosen

And on that beach don't leave your mark, my waves already cried over it
And every night my reason erases and repaints them
And from the pocket of my pants that sand fell into the room
Where I wrote the lyrics to your song
