Lyrics

After the wave
went by
all the people
left the island
to go home
and see what they
owned.

After the wells
went dry
then we quickly
found
some others
to revive the
flow of the town.

Hard as rock and
smooth as stone
many years have
been and gone.
We still have water
still wear shoes
still buy ties and
read the news
still wear shoes
still buy ties and
hide what we're
thinking

After the boy went
by with a package
in his blazer
full of coins
to throw in the
fountain.

Some of us were
standing by
and we talk to
one another
Or we don't
and stare at the
ground.
