On My Way |
Neptune’s the scary soldier who always wants to show you his gun |
A drum beat beyond my champagne sparkle kick and snare |
From the edge of the world where the waltzes play |
I’m on my way |
The North Sea ferry shudders all along its iron wall |
Full of soldiers who mob the bar where I’m trying to sleep |
Who drink toasts to those who can’t believe any more |
I’m on my way |
My sunsets are all one-sentence postcards |
I can see you holding them in your beautiful hands |
As I hold my nose to the heart I always betray |
I’m on my way |
Past the container port floodlights and the mountains of souls |
Past abandoned sailboats, rotten sticks and stones |
Past the lighthouse, the land’s last shining hope |
Sneaking towards the edge of the world, hoping to live beyond our sins |
And you can’t feel the ship move but you can see the earth spin |
Into a darkness like a fist that absorbs everything we try |
Maybe I’m finally about to see what’s right before my eyes |
I’m on my way |
You should be here instead of me |
You could always love your enemy |
I was born with no love for anything but I can’t look away |
I’m on my way |
