My mother cries almost every night And well, father lies in a bed of lies almost every night They lie awake at night and pray for different things But praying's all they do now All they do now Mother tries to fix the holes inside a ship that keeps on sinking down Father prides himself in making holes inside a ship that's sinking down now They sail away inside the ship and pray that it will reach the shore somehow now Somehow now No no no no I can't bear to watch you ache I will pray you drift away No no no no I can't bear to watch you ache I will pray you drift away No no no no I can't bear to watch you ache I will pray you drift away No no no no I can't bear to watch you ache I will pray you drift away
