Miles From The Sea Lyrics - Edge Of The Sun - Calexico

Finding fossils on the hillside 

while the sun strikes him down to his knees 

where his great grandfather's sweat 

swallowed up left for dust 

Just to escape push the pain to right 

sketches a wave in the soil 

one drop on his dry, dry lips 

'fore he goes inflamed and insane 

Dreams about swimming 

miles away from the sea 

dreams about swimming 

and the moon brings him back 

dreams about swimming 

miles away from the sea 

while the moon stems the tide in his heart 

Cast iron and recall 

the ore pouring deep in the vein 

as the years of searing heat, 'till all is just salt 

that is left in the bed where he sleeps 

Dreams about swimming 

miles away from the sea 

dreams about swimming 

though he's miles from the sea 

dreams about falling 

from the sky through the sea 

dreams about drowning 

while the moon looks away 

History unheard 

silent like the waves 

a graveyard for the giants 

that was his eye, dry is his heart 

Dreams about swimming 

miles away from the sea 

dreams about swimming 

though he's miles from the sea 

dreams about falling 

from the sky through the sea 

while the moon lays out a bed 

of bones to call home
