lyrics

Have we met before?
I remember the shore
and the night the moon looked so sore
for we had ignored her
to praise the darkness instead
where everything seemed so secure
and I sounded much more mature...
Obscurity always suited my flaws

I sailed and you lost
that little sparkle of hope
that used to cheer up the songs
when storms banged at the door
and the waves crashed against the prow

Oooh the sea claims our lives
Oooh ain't no land enough to hide
no boat, no current, no soil
stable enough to provide
a safe haven astride
and so we all must recoil
in a land that always looks West
the sundown might still cause some stress
please tell me if you couldn't care less
all this guessing makes me digress
to the folds of your transparent dress...

the man that was gone
back from hell he returned
and it looks like he had so much fun
rejoice cause life is not done
until the goats get the guns
