In my dream there stands an old sacked cathedral
Which at high tide becomes property of the sea
Stained glass blown out by waves
Sandcrabs have made the pews their caves
Gonna sit down and pray among them
Pray their cathedral collapses today
Kick off your shoes when you enter
Let's stay for a while
Just watch your toes around the organ pipes in the aisle
Dried seaweed covers the empty cross
Last year's hurricane washed away the boss
But we have communion without him
And pray his cathedral collapses today
Please don't be afraid, darling,
As the rafters fall around us
Please don't turn away, little sister,
Look, the autumn light has found us
You and me and seven seagulls listen as the ocean sings
We turn and say "peace be with you" and shake their silver wings
Whitewater rushes and they fly away
We've learned to swim so we're free to stay
Palms together underwater
We pray in this cathedral collapsing today
Please don't panic, my darling
As we breaststroke for the window
Kick your heart out, we're centimeters
From the surface of tomorrow
Climb with me into the black rocks
As the reef begins to rumble
Promise not to judge for crying
Watching everything just crumble
Into the sea
