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 |
