|
When the hills let go |
|
Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover |
|
On a ship filled with ghosts |
|
It's something to behold |
|
When the paper thin girls |
|
With twisting little braids in their hair, |
|
They take off their coats and throw |
|
Pebbles and stones from the side of the boat, |
|
Crying out |
|
The stones they float, the stones they float |
|
Oh my God, the stones they float, the stones they float |
|
Down the burning ropes |
|
Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies |
|
You make your bed under the moonlight |
|
I think it's time we said goodbye |
|
Cause nothing moves in the warm air |
|
And words that once would cut like a knife, |
|
They just hang in the cloud and you're |
|
Pushed by the lord, |
|
But you're pulled by the crowds and |
|
You're overboard, you're overboard |
|
Oh my God, she's overboard |
|
My love she's overboard |
|
She's overboard |
|
My love she's over board |
|
Not a shell unbroken |
|
In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay |
|
It's not the time to be hanging around here |
|
You know what some might say |
|
That people get too reckless |
|
That even with the simplest of crimes |
|
They leave, blood behind, |
|
As I clean the knife for the very last time |
|
I think she knows, |
|
I think she knows |
|
Oh my God, |
|
I think she knows |
|
I think she knows |
