lyrics

I moved under the mountain
With the people of the mud
Cause I move with the ocean
I can feel it in my blood
I didn't think life would be easy
I didn't know what to do
I've slept through the pain, do it all again
I'm ready for something new

Oh friends and lovers, don't you fret
The dreams are wilder, bolder yet
And though I sang of sweet regret
It makes no nevermind
And though I'm far away from you
The light you gave me shines on through
And everything you said was true
Except for "Stay behind"

Meanwhile, in a womb of stone
Deeper than you've ever known
Underneath the rocks and dirt
Insulated from the hurt
Embryo dreams -
Dreaming 'bout the things to come

They told me it would end in fire
But it's later than they think
Instead, fear death by water
when the tower starts to sink
If we don't drown, I'll see you down
In New Commercial Bay
Or is it you and me on Lambton Quay?
There are no words to say.

Oh friends and lovers, don't you cry
The light once born can never die
And though I sang a sweet goodbye
I'm always coming home
And though it's wise to break with you
I couldn't if I wanted to
I set my course and sail the blue
It's all I've ever known

Meanwhile, in a womb of stone
Deeper than you've ever known
Underneath the rocks and dirt
Insulated from the hurt
Embryo dreams -
Dreaming 'bout the things to come
