Oracle of the Maritimes Neko Case

I planned a dream inside a dream
With your uncle
A fisherman who died
The oracle of the maritimes

Too cloudy to see fireworks
We would ride
A chest of drawers into the waves
His granite hand held mine

I asked him how to tell you
How much I could love you
'Cause I've never been so sure of anything

Sometimes I feel so beautiful
It's strange for a tomboy
Bruises up her legs
Your big hand holds my face

Sometimes I feel so ugly
I'm afraid, worry nesting in my hair
Shedding like a Christmas tree
Surely there's a real woman coming to erase me

There's no way I could tell you
How much I could love you
'Cause I've never been so scared of anything
