Sharm el​-​Sheikh

from Gold, Sapphire & Plum by Ethan Andrews

lyrics

When the bats come out, I slide down to the floor and steal away.
Light outside a map where I could not erase the lines.

I stuck around see what rose from the ashes of the states.
From away, every day’s uncertain.
May, there’s only so many ways to draw the curtain down.

Kiss back a bit of my worry.
Toss out the names I’ve wanted to get rid of.
I wanted to see my eyes explode.
The coin breaks, no matter what you take en route.

Am I small, is it you, am I far, far away, getting closer?
A lamplight in one eye, the moon and an ash in the other.
Before the shadow of a tree. Before long when I float in the water.

The other side of the gulf is quiet
Or just new, with less people lying, and you…

Kiss back a bit of my worry.
Toss out the names I’ve wanted to get rid of.
I wanted to see my eyes explode.
The coin breaks the moment that you take it.
Your sad and your no-crying hate keeps breaking through.

Lord, you wore me down.
I didn’t mean to show you up.
After the body’s gone.
Only stars are left.

Kiss back a bit of my worry.
Toss out the names I’ve wanted to get rid of.
I wanted to see my eyes explode.
The coin breaks, no matter what you take.
I’ll ride the warm winds back to Sharm el-Sheikh

Looks good in a coonskin cap, but then you can't just wear one of those all the time without having to answer a lot of questions.
