1
This town...
2
This stain on the sunrise
3
Disguised in the mist,
4
This morning...
5
Its 8 am,
6
A seagull shouts
7
A sailors warning,
8
This sky...
9
This bend in the river
10
Slows down and delivers me
11
The tide rolls back
12
And all my memories fade to black.
13
And yet,
14
And yet
15
I'm back!
16
This town has a strange magnetic pull,
17
Like a homing signal in your skull,
18
And you sail by the stars of the hemisphere,
19
Wondering how in the hell did you end up here?
20
Its like an underground river or a hidden stream
21
That flows through your head and haunts your dreams,
22
And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack
23
And theres nothing round here that the wide world lacks.
24
And yet,
25
And yet
26
Youre back!
27
Some night Id lie on the deck and Id stare
28
At the turning of the stars,
29
Those constellations hanging up there
30
From the cables and the rigging
31
I wonder if she saw the same or managed to recall my name
32
Why would she ever think of me, some boy she loved who fled to sea?
33
And why waste time debating
34
Whether shed be waiting for the likes of me?
35
So you drift into port with the scum of the seas
36
To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease!
37
And the ships left the dock, but youre half past caring, And you haven't got a clue whose bed youre sharing.
38
And your heads like a hammer on a bulkhead door
39
And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw
40
And theres bloodstains and glass all over the floor
41
And you swear to God yell drink no more.
42
And yet,
43
And yet
44
In truth
45
Its too late to find her
46
Too late to remind her
47
At some garden gate
48
Where a servant tells me I should wait
49
And perhaps a doors slammed in my face
50
My head must be in outer space,
51
And yet,
52
And yet...
53
Before the sun has set
54
Before the sea
55
There maybe something else
56
That's waiting for the likes of me!
57
This town...
58
This stain on the sunrise....
