Atlantis - The White Birch

Whenever she’s alone

Alone that child she dares

To flair her icy bones

Half naked into the air

Just to find the spot

The one that makes you weak

To draw more than the queen’s lot

By the end of every week

And you can tell me

About the useless sea

On behalf of the widow

Of a sailor soon to be free

You can tell me

About the useless sea

And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair

And we can dance like open windows in the evening air

Whenever she’s alone

That woman dares to keep

Leaking boats built too low

To move us in our sleep

And if you find the place

The one that made you grow

Crowns of flowers in the girl’s face

Chasing blood into the river’s flow

And you can tell me

About the useless sea

On behalf of the widow

Of the sailor soon to be free

You can tell me

About the useless sea

And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair

And we can dance like open windows in the evening air
