The Stranger and the Hightide

Way down south by the river below
Shadows flood my mind
I’ll ride that train to the end of the line

Where did you go?
And what did you find?
All of my dreams seem ill defined

Hellbent ride through the canopy glow
My brother lost his mind
He shot himself, it’s a sign of the times

But where did you go?
And what did you find?
There’s all of these dreams you left behind
I’ve got nothing left to lose at this point of my life,
like The Stranger and the Hightide
Weigh me down, just weigh me down
And if all that I can do is to live in a dream
The strangest dream I’ve ever seen
Staring back at me

Ride my dreams to the river below
My brother lost his soul
You needed love for the bidding of time
I’m going blind, but brother, I’ve got words and I’ve got time
For all your troubles to find me here

I’ve got nothing left to lose at this point of my life,
like The Stranger and the Hightide
Weigh me down, just weigh me down
And if all that I can do is to live in a dream
The strangest dream I’ve ever seen
Staring back at me

But where did you go?
And what did you find?
There’s all of these dreams you left behind

So, break upon the waves, inglorious child
The goldmine of a lifetime
Weigh me down, just weigh me down
And if all that I can do is chase and pursue
The lifeline of a fever song
Raining down on me
