• And Yet (The Last Ship 2013)

This town is chained on the sunrise
Disguised in the mist this morning
It's eight am
The seagull shouts a sailor's warning

This sky, this band in the river
Slows down and delivers me
The tide rolls back
And all my memories fade to black

And yet
Ad yet
I'm back

This town has a strange magnetic pull
Like a homing signal in your skull
And you sail by the stars in the hemisphere
Wondering how in the hell did you in entropy
It's like an underground river or a hidden stream
That flows through your head and haunts your dreams
And you stuff those dreams in this canvas sack
And there’s nothing around here that the wide world lacks

And yet
Ad yet
You're back

Some nights I’d lie on the deck and I’d stare at the turning of the stars
Those constellations hanging up there from the cables and the rigging
I'd wonder if she saw the same
Or managed to recall my name
Why would she ever think of me
Some boy she loved to fled to sea
And why waste time debating whether she’d be waiting for the likes of me

So you drift into port for the scum of the seas
To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease
And the ship has left the dock but you have that caring
And you haven't got a clue whose bed you're sharing
And your head is like a hammer on a bulk head door
And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw
And there’s bloodstains and glass all over the floor
And you swear to god you’ll drink no more

And Yet
And yet

In truth It’s too late to find her
Too late to remind her at some garden gate
Where a servant tells me I should wait
Where perhaps a door slammed in my face
My head must be in outer space

And yet
Ad Yet
Before this sun has set
Before the sea
There may be something else that’s waiting for
The likes of me

This Town is chained the sunrise…
