Many nights I sit here With memories by the score Thinking of the days I spent With the girl I still adore So I'm going back to see her Before my days are done Going back to see her in the Land of the sea and sun Once I had a notion About this Nassau girl I put my thoughts in motion And found my heart in a whirl So I'm going back to see her Before my days are done Going back to see her in the Land of the sea and sun Ever since I left her Nothing has been the same I think I'll pull up anchor I'm going back to give her my name Many nights I sit here With memories by the score Thinking of the days I spend With the girl I still adore Yes, I'm going back to see her Before my days are done Going back to see her in the Land of the sea and sun

You are the rock, and you are the stone, Rivers your blood, mountains your bone. You are the Source, of all I'll ever know, Forever my Mother, forever my home. Oh this town is so cold, Neon magicians they offer the fools their gold. For there is a place I'd rather be, In your wild places with the Land and the Sky and the Sea Every step, follows those gone before, Mystics and Saints, down to the shore, Echoing waves, and the curlew's cry, A call out your name, and hear your reply. Cynical thoughts, and lies that distort, All that is true, all that is true, They disappear, when I feel that you're near, When I'm with you, when I'm with you.

Sneak into my room Tell me what to do Oh oh, I'm dying to take orders from you Keep my hands from trembling I know you know how to Oh oh, I'm dying to take orders from you You can make eyes shine brighter Let that sweet enslavement come If it can make my smile wider I'll try anything once I'll try anything once Can you keep a secret? Keep your lips closed tight I might never beat it I might not even try You can make eyes shine brighter Let that sweet enslavement come If it can make my smile wider I'll try anything once I'll try anything once

Ten miles out and lost at sea Lost the flame that was flickering Lighthouses aren't always what they seem As for ghosts, we don't always know what they mean Stole my head but not my heart Lord, I struggle keeping them apart I know the difference between want and need And they both seem to enjoy haunting me I won't lie if you won't ask We keep circling back Tried leaving ghosts in the past We keep circling back She breathed a whisper like smoke Waiting to be carried by the wind He swore he listened when I spoke I said we've already met our end I won't lie if you won't ask We keep circling back Tried leaving ghosts in the past We keep circling back

Puzzles of pictures all burned up They said we burned up all our luck And Mother and Father, can't be bothered to wake up No, Mother and Father, can't be bothered at all So we grew up in paper towns The perfect place for us to drown And Mother and Father, can't be bothered to be found No Mother and Father, can't be bothered at all Released to my own recognizance Ran straight back to that prison fence Cause when you don't know what's on the out You just wanna get back in Mother and Father, cannot be bothered to break out And since I'm being honest, I think I've always had my doubts Mother and Father Mother and Father Mother and Father, please Mother and Father Mother and Father Mother and Father, please
