Screen Door Porch
From Sea
Words & Music: Aaron Davis, Yella Dog Records (ASCAP)


From storms and waves and everything at sea
It managed to float right up to me
A velvet lined, grassy box, made of foam and full
of rocks with one gem you wouldn’t believe

In all the world and all the galaxies
Inertia willed it to me
Picked it up, looked around,
Headed towards safer ground, Where it lit up my little room

Engraved on a plate of solid steel
Disposition is your spare wheel
Engraved on a plate of solid steel
Disposition is your spare wheel
It’s your wheel ... don’t pass on the deal

Air moved through and washed away my thoughts
All ‘cuz of one little box
Lips would move, tide would turn,
These words will haunt before they burn, And back to sea they will go

Bridge
Wading ... wading in the sand
Hovering ... over land
Showing ... showing my good hand
Can’t pass on the deal ... I won’t pass
