lyrics

In the black sky there is a lake
In the lake I see a face
Round and soft and silver
Its forces dense and bright
Showing me where I can go in any night

But then the black machine hits the water
And the water hits my eyes
The mirror pulled to pieces
Just a when and not a why
Just a when, just a then, not a why

And then the water shimmers so
Where will these waves go?

There is a ship on a flat ocean
With a greedy captain at the wheel
He wants that golden ball on the horizon
Throws out his nets, gets ready to reel
in the catch, close enough to touch and feel

But in this mad blinding glow
He cannot see where to go
O in this mad blinding glow
He doesn’t know where to go

(only when the ship backs up, the sun will set)

And now the water shimmers so
Where will these waves go?
And now the water shimmers so,
Where will these waves go?

And now the water shimmers so
Where will these waves go?
And now the water shimmers so,
Where will these waves go?
