Generate meaning
1
I cry at her bowl, dog's dying day
2
A bone in her bowl, a watery grave
3
See, I am a sailor, but I'm not so great
4
I keep fishin' for roadkill, passin' out on the waves
5
Shimmering sea, stretched end to end
6
Shivering bowl, a flickering friend
7
See, that's Mr. Murphy, my leathery brave
8
He's whimpering "Taps" now, for his plank-walk grade
9
I've never been a joiner, no, I've quit every team I've been on
10
Now I'm crying in my coffee, that's not sea salt in my eyes
11
Cause me and Murphy, we have been through it, and I hate watching him die
12
(Whistling)
13
So I wait for my wisdom, like I wait for my wife
14
Like I wait for a story, helps me wait out the night
15
Like when I was an archer, but I couldn't shoot straight
16
I broke all of ma's windows, I poked holes through her drapes
17
And I laugh to myself, but I can't tell you why
18
The hung-over sun, sneaks back in the sky
19
But Murphy went peaceful, he went decent and right
20
At least better than I will, when it's my turn to die
21
And I wear his collar on my wrist
22
And I bury him down at the beach
23
No crying, no coffin, just a body and a hole
24
No praying, no singing, no saving any souls
25
The only thing I'm saving, yeah
26
Is a bone inside a bowl
