I closed my eyes for a few days Such a convenient way to look inside While all my friends have gone on their own ways So alive Now here I'm alone like a keeper I'm watching over what they left behind I'm afraid I missed the boat for the new world I'm a fool Days are growing longer Face to face with myself Stone-heart and glass-eyes I'm running through a steam of lies All around, all around me Now I'm talking with an old seaman Who gives me some news of my old friends They have found what I am losing Days are growing longer Face to face with myself Stone-heart and glass-eyes I'm running through a steam of lies All around, all around me Go wiser, feel stronger, sing louder
