Burning Boats

https://tinyurl.com/44jrsseh   

Rust in the basement  
and the cupboard is bare  
ghosts of the winter  
still hiding down there  
Trees bleeding spring  
and the birds calling time  
awakening worlds  
to a first sip of wine  
   
Like ants getting busy  
before they're ready to fly  
we were all too distracted  
getting real with our lives  
Chasing dollars while scholars  
were dissed with a sigh  
Just some crazy old fools  
preaching gods of goodbye  
and no-one believed  
the seas would run dry  
   
Old dinosaur bones  
frozen in stone  
warned of disaster  
that fell from the sky  
but no-one believed  
the seas would run dry  
No-one believed  
the seas would run dry  
   
The queues on the highway  
all abandoned with shame  
when reality bites  
knowing we were to blame  
Now the rivers are deserts  
where nothing survives  
and no-one believed  
the seas would run dry  
No one believed  
the seas would run dry
