Lyrics To Tide Us Over - Esperanza Spalding
Maybe
your
tongue′s
a
ruddy
seafloor
Buried
in
its
night
Just
shy
of
the
constellations
you
guide
by
Whispers
of
light
Beneath
the
surface
of
sound
sayings
Mirroring
their
time
What
you
mean
to
say
burns
silent
as
starshine
Clear
each
night
above
the
noisy
city
in
your
mind
(Say
what)
The
taste
of
pearl
in
the
heart
of
your
mind
(Say
what)
Round
every
wound,
you
just
needed
some
time
Sounding
out
the
shapes
Now
of
your
most
beautiful
dreams
The
speaker
inside
you
stands
to
deliver
the
unseen
Send
up
words
to
tide
us
over
Bubbles
in
the
flood
From
our
new
Atlantis
somewhere
beneath
the
sea
of
blood
I'm
diving
now
to
meet
you
We
can
dance
beneath
the
flagless
moon
(Say
what)
The
taste
of
pearl
in
the
heart
of
your
mind
(Say
what)
Round
every
wound,
you
just
needed
some
time
Finally
the
tide
has
come
to
lick
away
Scars
all
chewed
into
the
land
Rising
out
the
sea
your
words
shine
Haloing
the
jagged
rocks
of
splashing
man
Chewing
scars
into
the
land
Rising
out
the
sea
your
words
shine
finally
The
tide
has
come
You
just
needed
some
time
Rising
out
the
sea
your
words
shine
finally
The
tide
has
come
to
lick
away
Scars
all
chewed
into
the
land
Rising
out
the
sea
your
words
shine
Haloing
Rising
out
the
sea
your
words
shine
Finally
the
tide
has
come
