lyrics

If this wasn't less than perfect, I sure as hell did try
for a beauty softly seeded between the lines.
Floating in the distance, with the shallow tide.
Riding on a wave, as they're feeding you their lines.

At night the Queen plays with the old King.
Later that day he throws her in the ocean.
The son runs fast to sleep.
He sees the truth in simpler things.

Like fisherman who have baited hooks then thrown them out,
all the while I've been waiting for something to sing about.
Time is always running out.
Sometimes it brings you down.

There's something about the water
that makes me feel farther
away from the hand of the Father.
And son, her spirits moving on.
