lyrics

I hope that what they say's not true
somewhere the fire's gone out in you
and all the things that you've been through
have left you bruised and cowed

yet I recall when you were young
you weren't the claim of anyone
you'd climbed up from the lowest rung
bloodied and unbowed

out here the world has no time
for things that might have been
and the morning brings a new tide
and starts it all again

slack water's just a hearbeat
a changing of the guard
you keep your eyes fixed on the old stone quay
when the wind blows hard

Well I heard you lost your silver crown
and you'd burned their gilded temples down
you left them smouldering in the ground
while they all looked on and gaped

I wish that you were out there now
raising hell and running round
for all the laws that they laid down
you said were yours to break

the air out here is filled with
a billion glistening things
you could stand out in the spin drift
and let it wash you clean

chorus

but I don't think they know you well
and if you've had enough how could they tell?
for all the times that you almost fell
you always got up stronger

but if you feel the whole thing start to slide
you could meet me on the evening tide
we could try to coax that flame inside
to burn a little longer

and the sky out here is changing
every moment every day
and if the light out here is fadin'
well it won't lead you astray

chorus
