Select language to translate this lyric
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
And talking on the corner
But I know
This street
Has a dream
Of its own
All the roads that I've travelled
Hardly years from my past
But your eyes
They lie, they lie about what they've been told
Until they shine
The shine, they shine like silver and gold
And there's no use for your body
And no use for your soul
Save me a place a place
wrapped in blankets next to you
And I'll sleep for as long
As the night allows me to
Man's eternal grace is greater than the grave
And the sadness that blinds your face clings hard to the traditions of your lies
They lie, they lie about what they've been told
Until your eyes they shine
They shine, they shine like silver and gold
And there's no use for your body
And no use for your soul
No journey is over for you and I
As the eagles, they circle
Above us in the sky
I've no use for the fireplace
The winds blow me dry
And this cold night is giving me the space
To hear your voice echo all it's lies
They lie, they lie about what they're told
Until your eyes they shine, they shine like silver and gold
And your heart turns silver
Your hands burn cold
(And she burns silver
And the fields burn gold
Heart's turns to silver
Hands turn to gold
Hands turn to gold)
