lyrics

I think I should be out in the sun.
I feel I should be down by the shore.
Well this year has proved a variety of truths
And I shan’t be out searching anymore. No.
So I decided to move out of town.
There seemed no point in me sticking around.
And the friends there had been
Seemed to die with the scene,
Like they’re all buried deep in the ground.

Though the ghosts of sailors, they wander these halls,
I’ve learned it’s best not to listen at all.
‘Cause they’ll sing all their tails of the sea and the storms
And the city gates that stand ‘til the city falls.
The ghosts of the past will slip in without asking
To silently lead you away.
So close down your windows ‘til the light of the day.

She was a worthy opponent indeed.
This much even I now concede.
She’ll keep taking you down, yeah for round after round.
Oh man – like you wouldn’t believe.
But there’s a time to admit you defeat,
And that surrender’s immeasurably sweet.
So you’ll cheer as you stand, for the boys in the band
And it’s right there man; you’re back on your feet.

And Though the ghosts of sailors are trapped in these walls
I’ve learned it’s best not to listen at all.
‘Cause they’ll sing all their tails of the sea and the storms
And the city gates that stand ‘til the city falls.
The ghosts of the past – those inglorious bastards -
Will silently lead you away.
So close down your windows ‘til the light of the day.
