Do I ever wonder? You don't know.
|
You'll never follow, and I'll never show.
|
D'you see the water and watch it flow
|
And float an empty shell,
|
And you think that I'm hiding from the island.
|
You've a fault in your senses. Can you feel it now?
|
|
Time? What is that? I've no time to care.
|
I've lived for a long while nearly everywhere.
|
You will be taken, everyone, you ladies and you gentlemen.
|
Fall and listen with your ears upon the paving stone.
|
Is that what you hear? The coming of the sea?
|
|
Sea flows under your doors in London town.
|
And all your defences are all broken down.
|
You laugh at me on sunny days, but mine's the slight of hand.
|
Don't you know I am a joker, a deceiver?
|
And I'm waiting for the land.
