lyrics

James Jefferys - Cabriole Fermée

I fell straight into a well-deserved slumber,
Slipped longitude from Forties to Humber
The last thing I knew was the spray of Viking
Then woke in the twilight of Wight, again
You’re a gift, terra firma, thank you, really
We pretended that we didn’t need you
We always wished it was something we’d told,
Ripped in the current from Portland to Sole
Further from home,
Washed in the foam…

After a day of this Kinsale sailing,
I’m carried through Shannon, up into Bailey
I would do anything on solid ground –
I’d kill, play golf, I’d flatten the mounds
Ballerinas are circling by me
Hopping through the surf, cabriole fermée
Pastel pink, furious blue,
Frustrated red and lilac, too
Then the morning wash begins its pulling
Of me to the shores of old Lagavulin
