I was borne upon that wave where no one goes.
No one goes.
I was borne into that light the highway shows.
Soon you won't be waiting.
Soon you'll only be with me.
Not another soul will be there,
Oh just you wait and see.

Oh please don't be fooled by everything that you see.
You know that all these distractions won't ever come back for me
They won't come back for me.

You're in the back of the line just biding your time.
Hang on
Just like the taste of the wine, you know it's better with time.
Hang on.
When they tell you the price,
Mask your surprise
Hang on.

So just get back on the road, get back in the car.
If they light up your fuse, you'll shine like a star
And I get back on the track, get back on the train.
If you give me a spade, I'll bury your pain
And all the flowers that grow from that fertile grave
Will be blue as the ocean and they'll look like the wave I rode.

Oh please don't be fooled by everything that you see.
All these distractions won't ever come back for me
Oh they won't come back for me.

You're in the back of the line and you're biding your time.
Hang on
Like the taste of the wine, it's better with time.
Hang on.
When they tell you the price,
Mask your surprise
Hang on.

Precious things and worthless trifles guarded by young men with rifles.
Watch the tide come take them all away. Take them all away.
