Between Tides

On and on, the clock was wrong
 "You've been numb so long"
 His words, they lapped an endless rote
 "It's gonna rain, build a boat"
 On masterstrokes of ebb and flow, down the drain the current flows
 All along the alpenglow, it seems my pain was self-imposed
 ♪
 I'm just waiting for the storm to die out, out
 I'm just waiting for the storm to die out
 ♪
 I'm just waiting for the storm to die
 On and on in memory, you'll have my company
 ♪
 Mountainbuilding, anodynes, both in handfuls at a time
 I asked the trees why they grow
 They said, "It's all we know"
 I apologize to all I see for everything I used to be
 On and on, the clock was slow
 Down the drain, we surely know
 How to drink the oceans up?
 "Better start with a cup"
