lyrics

The wayward sailor
Keeps his dreams in an empty can
All those years ago
To Pele's arms he ran
His father was a dreaming man
His mother a dancing muse
His visions of an easy fortune
Now adrift as a battered ruse

Ohhhh it was supposed to be
much easier than this
Ohhhhh what happened to
the promise of entitled bliss

CHORUS

Was it a green flash
Or Gold across the water
Did it get its hook in you
Far away across the water
When the glitter fades away
Come on back to your Nirvana

Lean close and listen
Can you hear the crackle of shattered dreams
The golden promise tumbled
Saltier than it seems
If this is why you came here
To dive into a cove of jewels
The beauty lies elsewhere
And the last joke is on you

"Try to hang on!" said the captain
Facing the shredding wind
All this will make sense one day
If you can only bend
Let go these mortal threads
And trust the song of the Syrene

CHORUS

Was it a green flash
Or Gold across the water
Did it get its hook in you
Far away across the water
When the glitter fades away
Come on back to your Nirvana

BACK
TO
