lyrics

Oh! I’m eating a fish! What a surprise
One’s been on my plate day after day
I suppose that’s not enough cause for complaint

There’s an angry green-grey whittling our island away
Trying to swallow us, day after day
Never forgiving and never the same

By day, I scan the sea for the safe return
Of all our fisherfolk
By dusk, my fingers burn
In the racing green of the oscilloscope
And almost every night
There’s a signal that I’ve seen that means
I don’t quite give up hope

I’m sorry I had to get so far away
To talk about how I feel
I always dreamed of escape
I never thought I needed people much
But now I miss your touch
And, yes, this life’s a novelty
But day to day’s monotony without you walking next to me

One day I slipped my foot
Into the oily water, and I can’t describe the feeling
As I walked along the shore
Collecting creatures we might eat, as I do every evening
And one night I’ll look up
I’ll see the moon, and I’ll forget that’s not the moon you’re seeing

That’s not the same moon that you are seeing
