"Worship" lyrics - ROBERT WYATT

Two nuns on the sea shore
Stand apart from one another -
Black wood posts
Mesmerised by the sea god.

Mesmerised by the sea god.

One nun with human failings
And weary legs
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child,
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child.

A golden stripe appears
On the western horizon -
A golden stripe appears:
A signal from the sea god
That he understands tiredness.

One staunch sister
Stays standing.
One staunch sister
Stays standing
And the sun sets.

And the sun
Sets.
