|
the surface is shadow |
|
and the sky billows |
|
with a thousand lights i don't know |
|
the ripple of water |
|
is bringing me under |
|
in the afterglow |
|
and this golden ship |
|
she's warn and she's torn |
|
like this golden heart |
|
she's weathered the storm |
|
so many |
|
that the next one will tear her apart |
|
i drink in the sea |
|
at the first sight of lady liberty |
|
but she's rollin' them dice |
|
there's smoke in her eyes |
|
oh she cannot see |
|
and i'm thinking of you |
|
and what will i do |
|
with my dollar a day |
|
i'll send it on home |
|
'cuz my heart is a stone |
|
'til you come and stay |
|
oh oh |
|
til you come and stay |
|
oh oh |
|
til you come and stay |
|
her purpose is shadowed |
|
and her skirt billows |
|
in a thousand nights i don't know |
|
the crippled daughter |
|
is bringing me under |
|
in the afterglow |
|
and this golden dream |
|
she's warn and she's torn |
|
like this golden heart |
|
she's weathered the storm |
|
so many |
|
that the next one will tear her apart |
|
i drink in the sea |
|
at the first sight of lady liberty |
|
but she's rollin' them dice |
|
there's smoke in her eyes |
|
oh she cannot see |
|
and i'm thinking of you |
|
and what will i do |
|
with my dollar a day |
|
i'll send it on home |
|
'cuz my heart is a stone |
|
'til you come and stay |
|
oh oh |
|
til you come and stay |
|
oh oh |
|
til you come and stay |
|
the city is shadow |
|
and the sky billows |
|
with a thousand lights i don't know |
|
the ripple of water |
|
is bringing you over |
|
in the afterglow |
|
and this golden ship |
|
she's warn and she's torn |
|
like this golden heart |
|
she's weathered the storm |
|
so many |
|
that the next one will tear her apart |
