Until the birds had flown away
Go ahead with your dreaming for what it's worth

And the fishes in the sea
For when it's dark

And they covered up the sun
Had gone to sleep
Until the birds had flown away
But the knife is sharp
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea

And they covered up the sun
And they covered up the sun
For a time when no one's cheating
But the knife is sharp
Until the birds had flown away
And they covered up the sun
Birds singing, bells ringing
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
Had gone to sleep
Or you'll be stricken bound kicking up dirt

And the fishes in the sea
Go ahead with your scheming and shop at home
And they covered up the sun
And they covered up the sun
Just a distant memory, the dawn chorus
You never know what the night it may bring

Holy Moses, our hearts are screaming
Until the birds had flown away
Go ahead with your scheming and shop at home
And the fishes in the sea

For when it's dark
Until the birds had flown away
Until the birds had flown away
Souls are lifting, only dreaming
And they covered up the sun

Had gone to sleep
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands

In our hearts, in our minds
And the fishes in the sea
Until the birds had flown away
We'll be waiting, some are praying
And the fishes in the sea
You'll find treasure while cooking up bones
You never know what the night it may bring
Had gone to sleep
The sunlight rising over the horizon

And they covered up the sun

You'll find treasure while cooking up bones
Had gone to sleep
Had gone to sleep
Had gone to sleep
And the fishes in the sea
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
