Midlake


I saw Marion 
about to be swallowed up by the sea

Brings both minister 
and man to marry her
soon you'll come home late and drunk, and throw a lantern 
that burns their house down
I tried to warn her but I stopped caring

In that cafe you felt everything attacking you
I tried my best 
how the current pulled and buried you
and now you swim 
with a giant whale that curses you
I wish he'd go
