We must have done it every day We must have driven it away And we didn't know the candle was burning And we didn't see the wheel was turning I poured my words out in despair You never knew what else to say Than "My love, you see the sun, it is shining, Why don't you enjoy the heat And quit your whining, ey!" It was a matter of a day We always knew we'd have to pay Yes, we could smell the candle it was burning But we couldn't stop the wheel that was turning And the tick, and the tock of our impossible clock Tells the truth to my heart, which I cannot unlock So I sip, and I sip to the bottom of my drink And we sink, and we sink in your imaginary ship Well I sip, and I sip to the bottom of my drink, And we sink, and we sink in your imaginary ship We must have done it every day We must have driven it away
