A Jar of Sand

I heard the treasure lay

Beneath the sounds of your brittle bay

When I left the shore that day

It looked like the moon

And the deck on the seas, on the storming seas

I can see the southern cross, the southern cross

Tide pools big enough

Tide pools just deep enough to drown in

Lots of drowning girls

Little hands dived for pearls

To wear in your wedding ring

I know, I know what's buried under the sands of your brittle bay

Tide pools big enough to drown in

Tide pools just deep enough to drown in

I gave you a jar of sand from the coast

I gave you a jar of sand from the coast

I gave you a jar of sand from the coast
