Peppermint Rosehip Tea

from Animal Skin by David Roos

/

lyrics

Silver flask heavy with something hot
Peppermint rose hip tea
Filled it up but I forgot
It’s best to rinse it out in between
Cause you never know, you never know

Authentic-looking leatherette
Permanent, or so you might think
Filled it up but I forgot
It’s best to try to use indelible ink
Cause you never know, you never know

A narrow stretch of sand and seagrass
Separate these rocks from the mainland
This high tide will place us on
An island by tomorrow morning
There’s only exists a narrow window of time
When you can cross over to the side you want
Then the water washes in, and little fish float over fading footprints

Canvas stretched tight round a white pine frame
There’s an empty silver flask, for the turpentine
Filled it up but I forgot
To make sure the window’s cracked
Before you paint a line
Cause you never know, you never know
