Was that you openly glum?

The world passing by as you hold out your thumb

Like a good kid caught up to no good

The sun like the hammer on top of the hood

Not home when you needed it most

Laid out for a while in a town by the coast

Where the gulls and the dreams live off the bread

And fate draws in circles around in your head

Move on.

That piece of mind was only the crumbs

Take what you're given and cherish your sons and your daughters

Protected from sins

When the cold hand unforgivingly swings

Have mercy, you know it was wrong

The queue for redemption is painfully long

As you run, please don't forget me

Awaiting the tide to be buried at sea

We move on.

Stay focused for a twist in the road

Sharpen your senses as sanity slows

Just imagine the sets rolling in

And all that you have is the instinct to swim

Make your peace like only you can

You fell for the god but you married the man

In the moonlight hitching the ride

Abandon your post for the shadow inside

And move on.
