lyrics

Well, the doctor sauntered in and said the patient is so ill
It is nothing I can fix with a potion or a pill
I have not seen a case like this since the inmates were released
From the asylum on the hill, maybe you should call a priest

In the darkness there is light, in the blindness there is sight
Now I see eternity, at the edge of the night

Well the captain took the helm and he called his mate aside
He whispered in his ear about the turning of the tide
He said the wind and the stars are clearly beyond my command
There will be a mutiny if we don’t find dry land

Well the corporal grabbed his gun and counted up the rounds
The news was mighty grim when he knew he heard the sounds
Of the enemy advancing on his sorry little cave
Counting minutes, counting seconds, until it became his grave

But the morning is for dreaming, you lose track of the day
But there’s no way avoiding… when your future fades away

Well the lawyer told his client, I have plum run out of tricks
He said: the jury screamed for blood, you are in the deepest fix
The governor is sleeping,, the press has gone away
The sands are running out, anything you’d care to say?

Well, I guess you made it clear – that our time is done
Truth be told, I always thought – you would be the only one
Despite the way you slammed the door, despite the tears and pain,
You always were so good with words, and despite that I remain
