joshua marcus - a whale wash out lyrics

[verse one]
have a whale wash out of the sea foam
we watch ourselves lament loss living
but its death descent to the bottom of the ocean
have we harbored thought or grievance

[verse two}
in your everyday face splayed few of the mornings
that i care to remember
yet through it you proclaim you’re better than you ever
and that you still know that…you used to know that

[chorus]
out of all the here and gone: mine oh?
but what of all the years you hold, oh?
if you wouldn’t trade those either
could it be neither you keep from your soul
then there’s all the wanting and dreading of tomorrow

[verse three}
oh lord show me faith who masked men money
stand for comfort and indifference
there’s so much each way
and yet so much lost and so much misplaced

[verse four}
truth and love could braid “i know nothing that for certain”
and you echo all that i know
and yet people stare for every one step forward
we took two steps backwards
yeah we’ve all heard those words
[chorus]
out of all the here and gone: mine oh?
but what of all the years you hold, oh?
if you wouldn’t trade those either
could it be that neither you keep from your soul
then there’s all the wanting and dreading of tomorrow

[verse four}
and between youth and age how do those years weigh!
i feel i can relate this buckshot day, in all its glories
what recreates you?
oh, please offer your secrets

[outro]
we do no better when you throw it out with the wash
we do no better when the ear i turn is referred to as a deaf one
we do no better when your words would work like a mortar in the wall
we do no better when we don’t share things at all

we do no better than when we keep cementing walls
we do no better when we show up expecting disappointment
we do no better when what we hear is just one side of the story
we do no better when we don’t share things at all
