Iron & Steel

Beautiful, deadly
All these things that you love so dearly
Sailing in water, water that beats on the wrong shore
Sailboat, follow me home
You took one turn too many wrong
I can't break your waves for you
Come on, you've got a job to do

And you're weeping to the clouds
Waiting for the rain to wash your face
White wine and turpentine's bitter taste
Nothing left to mask all your pain

A table made of iron
And hearts made of steel sit in each chair
Picking with nails at the chipped veneer
Of the clock that's been ticking time there
And you think that there's no need escaping

Whoever taught you how to breathe freely in time with your heartbeat?

Rhythm walked to you out of a symphony's air
Hear that lonesome note you've sung
Still existing when you're gone
Take the path that leads you home
Don't worry
You won't be alone

When you're weeping to the clouds
Waiting for the rain to wash your face
White wine and turpentine's bitter taste
Nothing left to mask all your pain

A table made of iron
And hearts made of steel sit in each chair
Picking with nails at the chipped veneer
Of the clock that's been ticking time there
And you think that there's no need escaping

I believe in happy endings
Waiting in the very last pages
Maybe we're not rich
But we can have a lot
With what we've got

And you say that there's no need escaping
Maybe there's not
