In the reefs, I left your heart, girl In the reefs, I felt you so Saw you dancing by the moonlight Glowing back And the moon shines on the trail end By desert fires I saw places from a season When I got you hypnotised ♪ As I travelled from the mountains Took me years to find the shores And discover the foundations For I knock up on your doors I saw people chased like outlaws I saw tearful children's eyes All they asked for was a shelter From the cruelty of times ♪ Oh, in the days after the rampage She took my hand and said, "Let's hide" To a city in the ocean bed Thriving deep below the tide I remember being born there But my memories all dry Put a gun under my pillow For the king that had to die (had to die) ♪ In the reefs where waves are breaking In those reefs you crushed me whole When I found my way and showed up In the lands that you control Now these highway patrol men See me riding up to north Once again, I play the drifter
