lyrics

water and wine runs like a stream
into the green sea, when i’m in love
i’m lost in a pawn shop on the street
i’m lost in the street like a lost glove

the windows shine, and like a thief
i know my charms, won’t save me
from wisdom or guilt when i think of the sea
i’m lost like a sailor, i’m lost sailor

sinking in sand like a lost child
hoping to find a diamond or a dollar

but diamonds or dollars don’t come cheep
i know my charms won’t save me
i’m lost in the dark when i think the sea
street lamps and clocks, street lamps and clock towers

but diamonds or dollars don’t come cheep
i know my charms, won’t save me
i’m lost in the dark when i think the sea
street lamps and clocks, street lamps and clock towers
