Hermanus Lyrics

Blue, pink to black

The slow collapsing of the day

Over the sea, the silvery sea

Beyond the waves

The moon will rise

It tells the tide to do its thing

The waves to crash, and endlessly

The sea to sing the same song it always has

Icarus washed up on the beach

At Hermanus

I told him since the whole flying thing

He'd become rather famous

He seemed surprised and filled me in

On his last few hundred years

Living with seals

Living off eels

But living nonetheless, nonetheless, nonetheless

Put your ear to the bonnet of the broke down car

You will hear the hum of the traffic

The sun-blanched bones

The old sea shell

Remembering the Atlantic

Put your ear to the bonnet of the broke down car

You will hear the hum of the traffic

The sun-blanched bones

The old sea shell

Singing the song of Atlantic noises
