It’s like an underground river or a hidden stream        Ebm7b5                                   D7 That flows through your head and haunts your dreams And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack              AMaj7   G#m7add11   C#7 And there’s nothing round here that the wide world lacks And yet and yet you’re back                      Some nights I’d lie on the deck and I’d stare at the turning of the stars                           *intro chords* Those constellations hanging up there from the cables and the rigging      Bm7add11              Esus4    Ebm7b5               D7 I’d wonder if she saw the same or managed to recall my name          Bm7add11        Esus4            AMaj7   G#m7add11  C#7 But why would she ever think of me? Some boy she loved who fled to sea? And why waste time debating whether she’d be waiting for    the likes of me? | F#mMaj7 F#m6 | x4                            So ye drift into port with the scum of the seas To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease! And the ship’s left the dock but you’re half past caring And ye haven’t got a clue whose bed you’re sharing And your head’s like a hammer on a bulkhead door                  Ebm7b5                            D7 And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw And there’s bloodstains and glass all over the floor          AMaj7   G#m7add11  C#7 And ye swear to God ye’ll drink no more And yet  and yet           *intro chords* In truth it’s too late to find her Too late to remind her at some garden gate          Ebm7b5                    D7 Where a servant tells me I should wait And perhaps a door’s slammed in my face     AMaj7     G#m7add11  C#7 My head must be       in outer space And yet  and yet    Ebm7b5           D7 Before the sun has set Before  the sea        DMaj7           Bm7                  G#m7add11 There may be something else that’s waiting for The likes of me                                   *intro chords* This town this stain on the sunrise | |

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le retour d'un homme dans une ville qui lui est familière, mais marquée par ses souvenirs et ses regrets. Il ressent une attirance mystérieuse pour cet endroit, comme si quelque chose l’y rappelait inlassablement. Au fil des paroles, on perçoit un sentiment de nostalgie, mêlé à des réflexions sur le passé et les choix de vie, en particulier ceux liés à l'amour et à la mer. Le personnage se remémore des moments de contemplation sous les étoiles, se demandant si celle qu’il a aimée pense encore à lui, tout en réalisant que le temps a passé et que les occasions manquées le hantent. Ce voyage dans ses souvenirs le confronte à ses désillusions, aux plaisirs éphémères de la vie nocturne et aux luttes internes qu’il traverse. Finalement, il reste avec ce sentiment persistant qu'il n'est peut-être pas encore trop tard pour espérer un renouveau ou une possibilité d'amour, malgré la douleur du passé.
