1
The children are walking back from the beach
2
Sun on the sidewalk is burning their feet
3
Washing the salt off under the shower
4
And just wasting away, wasting away
5
The hours and hours and hours
6
Come on, climb over your father's back fence
7
For the very last time we'll take the shortcut across his lawn
8
Then lie together on the estuary bed
9
Perfectly still, perfectly warm
10
Sleep no more
11
Sleep is dead
12
Sleep no more on the estuary bed
13
Ache no more
14
Old skin is shed
15
Sleep no more on the estuary bed
16
I see you still
17
I know not rest
18
Silt returns along the passage of flesh
19
I hear your voice
20
I taste the salt
21
I bear the stain, it won't wash off
22
I hold you not
23
But I see you still
24
What use eyesight if it should melt?
25
What use memory covered in estuary silt?
26
I know your shape
27
Our limbs entwined
28
I know your name, remember mine
29
Sleep no more
30
Sleep is dead
31
Sleep no more on the estuary bed
32
Ache no more
33
Old skin is shed
34
Sleep no more on the estuary bed
