The Breakers

I can still recall the time
Sitting in the sand
And watching breakers
As they roll upon the shore
You just walked right up to me
Having asked around
You had no takers
To take you far away from here
Then I come along to hold your hand
Everything is up and it’s all right
'Cause I feel the engine
Pulling us towards a new day’s light
Everything is down and it’s okay
'Cause I hear the engine humming
And it’s taking us away
I’ve been seeing you around
Sitting in the sand
And watching breakers
As they roll upon the shore
You always had your friends around
Something you should know
I think they’re fakers
I’m the only one you need
Here I come along to hold your hand
Everything is off but that’s just fine
'Cause I see the engine running
Down a straight white line
Everything goes wrong but that’s all right
'Cause I hear the engine humming
As it penetrates the night
Where do we go from here
Stepping into thin air
How do we work it out
Where do we check our doubts
Everything is up and it’s all right
'Cause I feel the engine
Pulling us towards a new day’s light
Everything is down and it’s okay
'Cause I hear the engine humming
And it’s taking us away
And that’s just fine
'Cause I see the engine running
Down a straight white line
Everything goes wrong but that’s all right
'Cause I hear the engine humming
As it penetrates the night
