Penguins Holding Hands

from An Unforgettable Luncheon by Pea Green Boat

/

lyrics

Moving uneasily
We were penguins
Holding hands, out in the snow
Where the blizzards reigned supreme

In our personal winters
We'll keep each other steady
On our feet
Where the cold will eat our bones
We'll find warmth inside
The folds of an emperor's robes

This is what family means to me

This too will melt away
All in time
These castles fall under the lake
Fortresses only in name
But all that we have will endure

To be locked in a dance with the tides
Could be beautiful but for the cruelty
Of an arctic state of mind
Penguins in love journey forever
Damn the cold

If we separate know I will find you
Out in the tundra by any means known
All just to see what was painted
All over your face

All these days, where were we hiding?
Slipping and sliding
All on our own
All feels well under the twilight
Green in the half light
Guiding us home
