Whaling Wall Lyrics – Eric Terino
Singer: Eric Terino
Title: Whaling Wall
We went down to the whaling wall
We were not in love
Our fates were solidifying
Unbeknownst to us
November breezes through our hair
Our hands sheltered by gloves
The mist cut through our sense of fear
Spilling out watercolor lust
Our eyes were shielded from the sun
By the same dark panes of glass
I knelt before my own desire
I prayed for this to last
The afternoon light filtered
Through our insecurities
I was too afraid to say
You might be the one for me
The blackest hair I’d ever seen
The most beautiful mouth
Every soft boy’s childhood dream
Right there in my arms
A lost weekend has never been
As close to God as this
I wanted to feel everything
An ill begotten wish
He said, “Here it’s hard to fall.”
I said, “I can’t trust
In anything to anyone
Who cannot call my bluff.”
Manhattans ran through our blood
There was no smoke in sight
I told him of the one I’d lost
And he began to cry
He looked into my sinking heart
And held his breath lightly
He knew that we could never be
More than this one evening
Love is fickle like the tide
Always changing pace
You can’t rely on anything
That shapes itself in haste
So burn the mast and chop the planks
Drown the sorry thing
Watch it saunter down the waves
To its rightful ending
Someday soon I will return
To the land from whence I came
And the whales will still be on that wall
Nothing is ever gonna change
We went down to the whaling wall
Where lovers drift apart
Don’t listen when the sirens call
It could break your precious heart
