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
