lyrics

Carrying me back from the shore again –
Every damn time my ship goes down!
How’m I supposed to get all the way to Spain?
One on the sea is worth ten aground.

Livin' on a cliff above a loneliness,
You're only one step from the rocks and the reeds.
When the wind blows it’ll whisper this:
"Every dyin' thing's gotta go with me."

Maybe when the rent’s all paid we’ll live again.
I’ll give it up to ya like an offering.

It’s an offering! Won’t ya take it from me?

One crown between a king and a fool.
It’s right to give praise where it’s due,
But I’ll drown trying to drink up to you.

Over in the hills is a ringin' bell
Carryin' the song of the human age:
"Everything I own, I done built myself;
Anything that’s broke, I broke today.

Lyin’ in the dust is a dusty man –
Image in the flesh of some good advice.
Offer him a hand and he’ll pull ya in.
Anything that can’t be blood is ice.

Chorus
