[Verse 1] On a drunken boat, I weave my way Through the lanes where I used to lay When all the nights that came before Are finally over Im talking on the corner [PreChorus] But I know this street Has a dream of its own All the roads that Ive travelled Are the years from my past [Chorus] But your eyes, they lie, they lie about what theyve been told Until they shine, they shine, they shine like silver and gold And theres no use for your body and no use for your soul [Verse 2] Save me a place wrapped in blankets next to you And Ill sleep for as long as the night allows me to Mans eternal grace is greater than the grave And the sadness that lines your face Clings hard to the traditions of your lies [Chorus] They lie, they lie about what theyre told Until your eyes, they shine, they shine like silver and gold And theres no use for your body and no use for your soul [Verse 3] No journey is over for you and I As the eagles, they circle above us in the sky Ive no use for the fireplace, the winds blown me dry And this cold night has given me the space To hear your voice echo all its lies [Chorus] They lie, they lie about what theyre told Until your eyes, they shine, they shine like silver and gold And your heart turns silver, and your hands burn cold [Coda] If the sea burns silver, the fields burn cold As a heart turns to silver, the hands turn to gold Hands turn to gold
lie, silver, shine, use, gold
