[Verse 1]
I hear the cracking of the band
Can you hear it too?
It follows me like birds from town to town

[Verse 2]
I feel the hollow ticking tock
Won't you come away
Into the ocean for a while?

[Chorus]
And we'll float
Until we're tired
And let drift away
The fog of times gone by

[Verse 3]
I hear the cracking of the gun
Can you fear it too?
It hangs like a darkness in your eyes

[Verse 4]
I hear the dripping of the blood
I want to get away
Let go of my hold on passing time
[Chorus]
And we'll float
Until we're tired
And let drift away
The fog of times gone by
