The road is leading out to sea
to the place where I saw
Saw you diving into green
and through the darkened glow
Through the darkened glow
And I am covered up in holes
That feast on my soul
and everything before
Can you remember it all
Can you remember it all?
So I'll wait for you to come flying
and I'll wait for that explosion in the sky
And I'll watch the pieces of you burning like stars
And I will shout so they will know who you are
The golden sparks on the horizon
I thought that I saw
Something float over the ocean
and heading out to you
Heading out to you
This spout of water's gone dry
and what is evil, what is good?
I like it best when you lie
I think that I should
I think that I should
So I'll wait for you to come flying
and I'll wait for that explosion in the sky
And I'll watch the pieces of you burning like stars
And I will shout so they will know who you are
These years have gone in a daze
I try to seize them like a dream
But I can figure out your face
For the sea in between
the sea in between
It's so dark I can't see your face smiling back at me
In the eyes of the sea that's been eating at my memory
So I'll wait for you to come flying
and I'll wait for that explosion in the sky
I'll watch the pieces of you burning like flames
And I will shout so no one forgets your name
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
La-la, la-la, la-la la la-la
It's so dark, I can't see your face smiling back at me
In the eyes of the sea that's been eating at my memory
It's old after all, the stories that you told
But we know it's okay, just carry on that way.
But we know it's okay
I just hope you'll get this message someday
