Last night I never heard from you
So I turned out all the pockets in my mind
Bits of lint and longing hid from view
Any shred of proof that I could find
The geese are huddled on the ice floes
The wind is picking up something fierce
The offshore men unload their catch
Surveying what the storm dragged in
You turn me on
Then you turn it on me
Like a screw
You draw me in
Then you draw me out
Like a bruise
Oh love, I am a sailor
I charge against the wind
But you taste of something stranger
Than any I have kissed
There's a light on the horizon
Searching for a capsized skiff
Water like a mirror, swore they heard someone coughing
Must be a reason she won't turn herself in
Sometimes I caught you freediving
In the recesses of my head
If half of what I say is nonsense
That ratio balloons
When you're fact-checking
Oh love, I am a wanderer
My heart lives on the road
But you have called me closer
Than any I have known
You turn me on
Then you turn it on me
Like a screw
You deal me in
Then you deal me out
Like a duel
Oh love, I am a turncoat
My allegiance lies with you
Draw me out with conversation
And burn me with the truth
Oh yes! I am your turncoat
I mean every word
I'm aloe to your whiplash
Only for you I turn
