[00:02.87] If this is redemption, why do I bother at all
[00:13.19] There's nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
[00:19.59] Still I'd rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
[00:26.04] So I wander on, till someone else is saved
[00:31.60] I moved to the coast, under a mountain
[00:37.09] Swam in the ocean, slept on my own
[00:43.46] At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay
[00:50.44] I'd remember all the things my mother wrote
[00:55.79] That we don't eat until your father's at the table
[01:01.17] We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
[01:07.97] Never once has any man I've met been able to love
[01:14.68] So if I were you, I'd have a little trust
[01:19.51] Two thousand years, I've been in that water
[01:28.16] Two thousand years, sunk like a stone
[01:34.66] Desperately reaching for nets
[01:38.87] That the fishermen have thrown
[01:41.06] Trying to find, a little bit of hope
[01:47.46] Me I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
[01:54.15] Pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
[01:57.78] So if in the future I might need myself a savior
[02:05.44] I'll remember what was written on that wall
[02:09.64] That we don't eat until your father's at the table
[02:15.70] We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
[02:21.34] Never once has any man I've met been able to love
[02:28.66] So if I were you, I'd have a little trust
[02:33.62] Am I an honest man and true
[02:42.63] Have I been good to you at all
[02:45.04] Oh I'm so tired of playing these games
[02:48.93] We'd just be running down
[02:50.68] The same old lines, the same old stories of
[02:53.81] Breathless trains and, worn down glories
[02:56.87] Houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
[03:01.18] So we don't eat until your father's at the table
[03:09.49] We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
[03:15.57] Never once has any man I've met been able to love
[03:23.57] So if I were you my friend, I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust
[03:35.90]
