Down the beach where the tide rolls in
Empty eyes and a bottle of gin
Yeah you're trying to foget how the days go by
Through the haze a cell phone rings
Just to say you've seen the last of the simple things
And you're trying to remember why you had to survive
Every stone that skips across the water
Has a place beneath the turning sky
Are we lost of the winds of chance
You can try but it don't make sense tonight
And you don't know why, no you don't know why
The sun sinks like a sharpened blade
Slicing off the night from another day
And if one tear escapes, there'll be a flood for sure
For every life cut down too young
For every deed that can't be undone
So how do we(just go on just like we did before?
Every stone that skips across the water
Has a place beneath the turning sky
High above all the winds of chance
It could almost all make sense tonight
But you don't know why, no you don't know why
Crazy man shouting down on the corner
Underneath chaos, perfect order and truth
And if you knew you would live forever
And maybe next time you could do it better would you?
Every stone skipping on the water
But you don't know why
Every stone skipping on the water
But you don't know why
