lyrics

Nobody knew the shop had sailed
Much less that it had wrecked
There was no shore
No place to drift against
It fell down straight with all its freight
Unchecked, Shipwreck

The sea consumed
The right and wrong
The sea consumed
The dances and songs
The sea consumed
The birds and bees
The sea consumed
Our memories
The sea consumed
The sticks and stones
The sea consumed
Our flesh and bones

All was lost to no concern
What the cargo was will never be learned
If it carried the songs of forgotten tribes
Or the holy writ handed down by scribes
Paintings of faces the way faces used to be
Before expression set the faces free
Or the love letters of a captain drowned
Just another lost treasure that will never be found

The sea consumed
The right and wrong
The sea consumed
The dances and songs
The sea consumed
The birds and bees
The sea consumed
Our memories
The sea consumed
The sticks and stones
The sea consumed
Our flesh and bones

Nobody knew the shop had sailed
Much less that it had wrecked
There was no shore
No place to drift against
It fell down straight with all its freight
Unchecked, Shipwreck
