On a drunken boat I weave my way Through the lanes that I used to lay When all the nights that came before are finally over I'm talking on the corner
But I know, this street has a dream of its own All the road that I've travelled are the years from my past
And your eyes they lie, they lie about what they've been told Until they shine, they shine, they shine like silver and gold And there's no use for your body and no use for your soul
Save me a place wrapped in blankets next to you And I'll sleep for as long as the night allows me to Man's eternal grace is greater than the grave And the sadness that lines your face clings hard to the traditions Of your lies
They lie, they lie about what you've been told Until your eyes they shine, they shine like silver and gold And there's no use for your body and no use for your soul
No journey is over for you and I As the eagles they circle above us in the sky I've no use for the fireplace, the wind's blown me dry This cold night's given me the space To hear your voices echo all its lies
They lie, they lie about what they're been told Until your eyes they shine, they shine like silver and gold Your heart turns silver, your hands burn cold
If the sea burns silver, the fields burn cold As a heart turns to silver, the hands turn to gold The hands turn to gold
