lyrics

I’ve been up all night,
Waiting in the same streets again,
Like I’m out of time,
And I can’t think of where I’ve been,

And I can’t think of where I’ve been.


The sea is on my right,
And the tide is coming in,
And I can see the light of a buoy,
Disappear,

And I can see the light of a buoy,
Disappear.


Out of focus,
Surrender your head to me,
Don’t try to think.

The words say nothing,
And I don’t want to speak,
About anything.

The words say nothing,
And I don’t want to speak,
About anything.

Out of focus,
Surrender your head to me,
Don’t try to think.

The words say nothing,
And I don’t want to speak,
About anything,

About anything.


I’ve been up all night,
And I’m still having the same dream,
That I’m still all right,
That I’m still sailing,
I’m still sailing,

It was just on my tongue,
But I closed my mouth to think it out,
Like a shutter set to Bulb,
I will hang there,
Waiting,

Hang there,
Waiting.
