Vanochtend stonden we op
Voor het eerst alleen
Klommen we de berg op,
Hijgend, maar meteen
Voelden we het ritme;
Nu zijn we alleen
Nooit eerder zijn we opgestaan
Voor het eerst nu weggegaan
Niks is nooit meer wat het was
Ooit stond tenminste niets nog vast
Zo bang voor het donker
Handen houden vast
In sterrengeflonker
Lijkt ons gezicht van was
Gister zaten we nog
Veilig achter glas
Nooit eerder zijn we opgestaan
Voor het eerst nu weggegaan
Niks is nooit meer wat het was
Ooit stond tenminste niets nog vast
Morgen komt de zon op
Verjaagt dan vast de mist
Over wat nog moet komen
En wat ik nog niet wist
Nachten brengen dromen
Ochtend brengt nieuw licht
Nooit eerder zijn we opgestaan
Voor het eerst nu weggegaan
Niks is ooit als wat het was
Gelukkig staat er niets al vast

Fog lifts from the harbor
Dawn goes down today
An agent crests the shadows of a nearby alleyway
Piles of broken bricks
Signposts on the path
Every moment points towards the aftermath, yeah
Sailors straggle back
From their nights out on the town
Hopeless urchins from the city gather around
Spies from imperial China
Wash in with the tide
Every battle heads towards surrender on both sides
And I am coming home to you
with my own blood in my mouth
And I am coming home to you
if it's the last thing that I do
Bells ring in the tower
Wolves howl in the hills
Chalkmarks show up on a few high windowsills
And a rabbit gives up somewhere
So a dozen hawks descend
Every moment leads towards its own sad end, yeah
Ships loosed from their moorings
Capsize and then they're gone
Sailors with no captains watch a while and then move on
And an agent crests the shadows
And I head in her direction
All roads lead towards the same blocked intersection
I am coming home to you
with my own blood in my mouth
And I am coming home to you
if it's the last thing that I do

Drank away the rest of the day
Wonder what my liver'd say
Drink, that's all you can
Blackened days with their bigger gales
Blow in your parlor to discuss the day
Listen, that's all you can
Ah but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built...
Sick and tired of what to say
No one listens anyway
Ramblin' years of lousy luck
You miss the smell of burning turf
Dream, it's all you can
Ah but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built...
That you built to keep afloat
Singled out for who you are
It takes all types to judge a man
Feel, that's all you can
Filthy suits wit bigot ears
Hide behind their own worst fears
Live, it's all you can
It's all you can
It's all you can do
No matter where I put my head
I wake up feeling sound again
Breathe, it's all you can
Tomorrow smells of less decay
These flowers greet this bloomin' fray
Be thankful, that's all you can
Ah but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloat
A ripe old age (3x)
That's what I am
A ripe old age
Just doing the best I can
The best I can
The best
