Shaking off the shadows
Running from the cold
Waters churn and beckon at my door
Tainted streams are flowing
Where the transom used to be
Take me down with the vessel when you go
Fortune fades
You're reaching for the light
Brighter days are falling far behind
When your hole is dug so deep
And it's so dark you can't see
The winds will always bring you home to me
Concrete and the pilings
Driving deep beneath the sea
Amongst the rising waves and finer things
Heavens to Betsy, to be a pearl upon a string
Resting on your shoulder eternally
Fortune fades
You're reaching for the light
Brighter days are falling far behind
When your hole is dug so deep
And it's so dark you can't see
The winds will always bring you home to me
No time for winding down
Where I wind up is on my mind
Surely there's more silver sides to see
No time to count the miles
Counting them up just brings me down
Looks like we've been leaking gasoline
Fortune fades
You're reaching for the light
Brighter days are falling far behind
When your hole is dug so deep
And it's so dark you can't see
The winds will always bring you home to me
