Slow comes the waking
From black and fevered dreams
We were drifting on the high seas
In a ship of blue and green
Sounds from the street
Rip me from my sleep
I’m slow walking out
Empty city streets
Shake myself awake
And thinking still of you
In a ship of green and blue
Oh, through a slow day
My mind falls with me
And colors in my memory
Are brighter than those I see
But our heart still beats here
It’s just a splendid souvenir
I’m slow walking out
Famous city streets
Streets you’ll never know
I’ll describe them all for you
On a ship of green and blue
Cold was the morning
The sky of bloody blues
We were talking about the old times
And singing songs for you
You were dressed up for the ride
Silver dollars on your eyes
I’m slow walking out
Darkened city streets,
Feeling nothing now
Just following my fear
'Till land gives way to sea
I’ll tell you everything
Brother, when we meet.
When we’re drifting on a sea
On a ship of blue and green.
