Song for Sanibel
by the Gincident
Wind it’s a rising, sky’s growing dark
Midnight at noon, like the skin of a shark
World sliding sideways, rain’s gonna come
What will we find when all’s done and gone?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Like a desperado goin’ for bust
Sea’s gonna steal everything that it can
Sweep through the streets, over your land
Oh, Oh, Sanibel
Oh, Oh, Sanibel
Ain’t got no rudder, can’t lift my sail
How could I have lost you in the gale, Sanibel
I feel like a singer who lost his band
Like a castle turned back into sand
Can’t get my bearings in this hurricane
We’ve still got each other to ease the pain
Oh, Oh, Sanibel
Oh, Oh, Sanibel
Hard to believe how far we fell
This slice of heaven all went to hell, Sanibel
Never knew it could get this hard
My whole life piled up in the yard
I lost my anchor, Sanibel
What was it sank her? Sanibel
When everything’s gone, ain’t no way but up
Drop by drop, refill my cup
Ashes and dust forge heaven from hell
We’ll find the pearl when we open the shell
Oh, Oh, Sanibel
Oh, Oh, Sanibel
Oh, Oh, Sanibel
Oh, Oh, Sanibel
