The hours converge on a sea as hard as diamonds
White gold and glittering in the harbour
And the day begins to make its cloudy way nightwards
Now I know what I know I won't risk a second look backwards
I saw you on a sunken day
You were dancing on the deck
It had already happened long before we first met
I turned till you looked my way
Bailed water from your wreck
And I was hook, line and sinker swayed
By your drowning one-man act
I forged you from sehnsucht a Harlequin's mask
I squinted and loved you for plain circumstance
But the world knew better, knew better than I -
It is watchful and far less desirous of lies
Well the day sprang a leak with our treasures on board
Our coveted out-of-the ordinary hoard
But I couldn't care less for those jewels that I left
I just wanted my safety of passage assured
Switching the tracks from black to blue
Glory train's bound but not for you
Head on my shoulders, my eye to the gun
I'll get away second time round
I saw you on a sunken day
You were dancing on the deck
And it had already ended long before we first met
Oh I murdered it so artfully
I was quite the diligent
But you aided and abetted me
So don't play that innocent
