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
