he surface is shadow and the sky billows with a thousand lights i don't know the ripple of water is bringing me under in the afterglow
and this golden ship she's warn and she's torn like this golden heart she's weathered the storm so many that the next one will tear her apart
i drink in the sea at the first sight of lady liberty but she's rollin' them dice there's smoke in her eyes oh she cannot see and i'm thinking of you and what will i do with my dollar a day i'll send it on home 'cuz my heart is a stone 'til you come and stay
oh oh til you come and stay oh oh til you come and stay
her purpose is shadowed and her skirt billows in a thousand nights i don't know the crippled daughter is bringing me under in the afterglow
and this golden dream she's warn and she's torn like this golden heart she's weathered the storm so many that the next one will tear her apart
i drink in the sea at the first sight of lady liberty but she's rollin' them dice there's smoke in her eyes oh she cannot see and i'm thinking of you and what will i do with my dollar a day i'll send it on home 'cuz my heart is a stone 'til you come and stay
oh oh til you come and stay oh oh til you come and stay
the city is shadow and the sky billows with a thousand lights i don't know the ripple of water is bringing you over in the afterglow
and this golden ship she's warn and she's torn like this golden heart she's weathered the storm so many that the next one will tear her apart
