I opened my eyes night and saw you in the low light Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the stars that aren’t there anymore I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt my arms and began to shiver violently before You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me Running into dark underground All the subways around create a great sound To my motion fatigue: farewell With your ear to a seashell You hear the waves in underwater caves As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
Time together is just never enough When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home What will it take to make or break this hint of love? We need time, only time When we’re whatever are you thinking of? If this what I call home, why does it feel so alone? So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall love? All the time, all the time
Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on? All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or oversleep I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow We’ll turn off all of the lights and set ballroom aglow
