In the reefs, I left your heart, girl
In the reefs, I felt you so
Saw you dancing by the moonlight
Glowing back
And the moon shines on the trail end
By desert fires
I saw places from a season
When I got you hypnotised
As I travelled from the mountains
Took me years to find the shores
And discover the foundations
For I knock up on your doors
I saw people chased like outlaws
I saw tearful children's eyes
All they asked for was a shelter
From the cruelty of times
Oh, in the days after the rampage
She took my hand and said, "Let's hide"
To a city in the ocean bed
Thriving deep below the tide
I remember being born there
But my memories all dry
Put a gun under my pillow
For the king that had to die (had to die)
In the reefs where waves are breaking
In those reefs you crushed me whole
When I found my way and showed up
In the lands that you control
Now these highway patrol men
See me riding up to north
Once again, I play the drifter
