Mermaid sits on a side wash rock
In the harbor
Watching the children play
And every day, sun or rain,
Old Man kneels to the earth to pray
For the rain and stars
And the cars at the heart
The dark and windy Vancouver

Just fifteen miles from shore
I lost the love that I had
Slipped and fell into the cold
Of the deep and the dark below
Big wave, small boat

Thought I’d seen the last of you, falling again
I’m a roof and I need sun to fit under our dime
Thought it was the sky, thought the cracked plaster was night
Chips and pain reflected light, light upon you
Thought the water wave was fine
Blending in with ice on heavy

Chorus:

Thirty comes fast
Kicking at a pile of stones
Waiting for a man to look back
I could smoke
Wouldn’t be a bad idea at all

When it hit me
Thicker than a pile of bricks

When I learned that I had a brother
I made up a dance for you
We’d be crime fighters together
and do things that brothers do
But when you told me about his mother
and all that she’d been through
What could I do?

well we got lost
at every street that we crossed
We spoke a lot to each other
i spit against the wind
Down the cemetery lane
We got some dirt in our nails
and we clicked our heels to the west

Another wasted night and I'm out of my head
We watch the cars go by from the sidewalk
It's like a hundred below, and I'm dressed for the bar
But we sing each other warm, we're dancing sideways

The whole way home
Laughed about the things we tried
The bridge it felt like five miles wide, yeah

We tossed the notion around
Hints in the subtle sounds
Never spoken aloud

I loved the idea of it
Without significance
It can be delicate
And I always mean what I say

This little pill
That you placed on the tip of my tongue
Could never replace the feeling I’ve found
Standing alone in this river I know
It’s a feeling I can never take with me
I want more than this
I want it all of the time
I want more than this

I am a secret government agent armed with lies
About secret government things
I have secret government documents that could knock you
dead
From your regular citizen lives
And I'll break into your regular citizen homes with my
government knives

I was on the ropes when you needed my hands
I was on the dope when you needed me down
I was on the hip when you needed my heart
I was on the hopes that you needed me now
And I was on the roof and you were the stars
I was on your lips, you were in my heart
I was on the first boat out of this town
You were on the front porch waving me out

On the side of safe
It’s safe to say
I’m more or less inclined
to walk away
And if I am defined
You are the dope
And I am the climb
at the end of my rope

Teddybear, honey bee
Don't forget that you love me
More than the stars over your head
It's just that your love shines like the moon
Full and bright and blinding through
Into my heart, into my head

When it's so dark I can't see the light

It's the light that I miss when it's gone

It's the weight of the season
Darkness down pressing on me
It's the weight of the season
Winter on come lethargy

It's a light that I miss when it's gone
