If this is redemption, why do I bother at all
There´s nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
Still I´d rather be working for something, than praying for the rain
So I wander on, till someone else is saved

I moved to the coast, under a mountain
Swam in the ocean, slept on my own
At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay
I´d remember all the things my mother wrote

That we don´t eat until your father´s at the table
We don´t drink until the devil´s turned to dust
Never once has any man I´ve met been able to love
So if I were you, I´d have a little trust

Two thousand years, I´ve been in that water
Two thousand years, sunk like a stone
Desperately reaching for nets
That the fishermen have thrown
Trying to find, a little bit of hope

Me I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
Pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
So if in the future I might need myself a savior
I´ll remember what was written on that wall

That we don´t eat until your father´s at the table
We don´t drink until the devil´s turned to dust
Never once has any man I´ve met been able to love
So if I were you, I´d have a little trust

Am I an honest man and true
Have i been good to you at all
Oh I´m so tired of playing these games
We´d just be running down
The same old lines, the same old stories of
Breathless trains and, worn down glories
Houses burning, worlds that turn on their own

So we don´t eat until your father´s at the table
We don´t drink until the devil´s turned to dust
Never once has any man I´ve met been able to love
So if I were you my friend, I´d learn to have just a little bit of trust
