And Yet |
This town… |
This stain on the sunrise |
disguised in the mist, |
This morning… |
Its 8 AM, |
A seagull shouts |
a sailors warning, |
This sky… |
This bend in the river |
Slows down and delivers me |
The tide rolls back |
And all my memories fade to black. |
And yet, |
And yet |
Im back! |
This town has a strange magnetic pull, |
Like a homing signal in your skull, |
And you sail by the stars of the hemisphere, |
Wondering how in the hell did you end up here? |
Its like an underground river or a hidden stream |
That flows through your head and haunts your dreams, |
And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack |
And theres nothing round here that the wide world lacks. |
And yet, |
And yet |
Youre back! |
Some night Id lie on the deck and Id stare |
At the turning of the stars, |
Those constellations hanging up there |
From the cables and the rigging |
I wonder if she saw the same or managed to recall my name |
Why would she ever think of me, some boy she loved who fled to sea? |
And why waste time debating |
Whether shed be waiting for the likes of me? |
So you drift into port with the scum of the seas |
To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease! |
And the ships left the dock, but youre half past caring, And you havent got a |
clue whose bed youre sharing. |
And your heads like a hammer on a bulkhead door |
And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw |
And theres bloodstains and glass all over the floor |
And you swear to God yell drink no more. |
And yet, |
And yet |
In truth |
Its too late to find her |
Too late to remind her |
at some garden gate |
Where a servant tells me I should wait |
And perhaps a doors slammed in my face |
My head must be in outer space, |
And yet, |
And yet… |
Before the sun has set |
Before the sea |
There maybe something else |
Thats waiting for the likes of me! |
This town… |
This stain on the sunrise… |
