I sat beneath the salted blue
Where every heavy current flew
I felt the pull of iron chains
While cold salt water filled my veins
Now I am resting on the floor
Right by the yellow kitchen door
The kettle whistles loud and clear
The heavy weight has disappeared
The linoleum is checkered white
The morning sun is bold and bright
A ceramic cup begins to fill
The ticking clock is standing still
Now I am resting on the floor
Right by the yellow kitchen door
The kettle whistles loud and clear
The heavy weight has disappeared
I remember how the ocean felt
Before the frozen winter melt
I dragged the sand across the deep
While all the silver fishes sleep
Now I am resting on the floor
Right by the yellow kitchen door
The kettle whistles loud and clear
The heavy weight has disappeared
The steam is rising in a cloud
The humming fridge is singing loud
I'm just a piece of rusted gear
Waiting for the home we hold dear
Now I am resting on the floor
Right by the yellow kitchen door
The kettle whistles loud and clear
The heavy weight has disappeared
Just a heavy piece of steel.
Now it feels real.
