lyrics

Run Aground

I stole a boat rowed out to sea
to find my head
but all I found was an empty space
where the sea should be.

One of those days that keeps you down
One of those plans just run aground

When nightfall came I tipped over the boat
and I slept beneath.
And when I woke I heard the northern wind
rustling like a thief.

One of those days....

And a man comes from afar
his eyes shine like ice,
his golden halo is not the haze.

Beneath the boat a little flower grew
and I kept it safe.
But the storms came fast and the waters rose
and washed out every trace.

One of those days that keeps you down
One of those plans just run aground.
