The clouds are rolling in Who will watch them The waves are strong The boat is gone I hope they're swimming
Little boy lost in the woods Where's the clearing The town is out They're calling loud But he's not hearing Seems to me I'm always miles away Looking for my own face
[Chorus:]
Save me from myself I can't relate We're mouth to mouth and still I suffocate There's nothing left inside for me to break Save me from myself
The bullet in the yard Slowly rusting The bottle's cracked The kids come back And I'm just looking The wine is on the floor The candles flicker Your eyes fall And I'm appalled It's all just cinder Seems to me we're always miles apart Trying to find another place to start
[Chorus]
The sailors never left They knew the weather When they were found They were having drinks together They found the little boy In the grocery Happy endings all around And still they haunt me
