lyrics

Back on the dead night sand
The moon is a wild eye
The sea hits the land
Stars are the tears it cries

You thought that I was an open book
But all you read between the lines
Was merely lost in the translation
I will not be defined... set down on paper
Just to be denied all that could be later

The dust has settled deep on all these pages
So that I can’t read your mind or recollect the stages
That led to this laconic drift
Of tired and wandering eyes
Here we sit and watch ourselves
destroy these final ties
