When the world speaks It rattles through me like an antique Or maybe it rings like an old bell Wishing us some kinda farewell A wave in the window, a beacon The batten down End of the season Lullaby blue It is two doves Trying to eat off of summer And chewing their words Were a long way, long way From the best of the best of times ♪ There's a broken cocktail round in the ocean Holding me under the table Tethering me down like a cradle Drowning me out With an amen They're all in hand And in all legs isle and Everything's fine Were a long way, long way From the best of the best of times A long way, long way From the best of the best of times ♪ And I wonder Whether our days are numbered If one is the same an another Wether we mistook the colours For the real thing If we'll ring out Brimming and broken and somehow Truer than blue And then come to Hold from the wreck In the day break All equal and safe Were a long way, long way From the best of the best of times
