The Copa

You're long blond in hair of heavy salty sea A curtain when it closed over and above me Locked the vicious sun like the wings of passing gulls Empty you held nothing, hollow as the washed-up shells I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find Oh, I still wake up in the morning with the Copa on my mind Sitting on the rock that looked onto the ocean Walking to the waves as they brewed a magic potion Calling them like faithless dogs, your commands and whims While the crashing on the rocks rose to the sky like ancient hills I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find Oh, I still wake up in the morning with the Copa on my mind You knew it was the end as you watched me from the gate I waved my boarding pass and didn't hesitate Security, security, I took off my shoes Turned around and you were gone Woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
