| I'd like to know you as a promise kept well | |
| A ballast of incessant dispel | |
| A stone in the water, a stillness in time | |
| The peace that I'd left home to find | |
| What must I say to keep you all day, any day? | |
| What must I say to change your mind | |
| Maybe if I could turn off the tape | |
| Rub the death from my face | |
| Head home, and forget all my songs | |
| I'm changing the shape of this miserable place | |
| Maybe then, you'd wanna solve me | |
| I'd like to tell you I've been dripping with sin | |
| Your skiff left this beach once again | |
| I turned from the water, not a thought in my mind | |
| Of the peace that I'd left home to find | |
| What must I say to keep you all day, any day? | |
| What must I say to change your mind? | |
| Maybe if I could stop | |
| Turn off the tape, rub the death from my face | |
| Head home, and forget all my songs | |
| I'm changing the shape of this miserable place | |
| Maybe then you'd wanna solve me | |
| What must I say to keep you all day, any day? | |
| What must I say to change your mind? | |
| Maybe if I could stop |
