"We are both so vast, you and I,
that I have to disturb several
constellations in the sky so that I
can kiss your neck like this and sigh..."

The face of love in profile
lights a cigarette.
The captain's on the bridge
and it's a foggy night and wet.

"So hey, okay... anyway,
you can go all the way
from love to paranoid
before we've had a chance to say
the things we must avoid..."

The face of love in profile
lights a cigarette.
The captain's on the bridge
and it's a foggy night and wet.

"I couldn't cry for years and years
but now I'm always full of tears.
I'm not a cow, boy.
It's plenty big enough for me,
here in this boat upon your sea."

The face of love in profile
lights a cigarette.
The captain's on the bridge
and it's a foggy night and wet.

And now, if you will let me be,
I'll put my face into the sea
and make the water take its shape,
and make the water take its shape,
and make the water take its shape
away..."

The face of love in profile
lights a cigarette.
The captain's on the bridge
and it's a foggy night and wet.

"We are both so vast, you and I,
that I have to disturb several
constellations in the sky so that I
can kiss your neck like this and sigh,
'Goodbye'."
