We must have done it every day
We must have driven it away
And we didn't know the candle was burning
And we didn't see the wheel was turning
I poured my words out in despair
You never knew what else to say
Than "My love, you see the sun, it is shining,
Why don't you enjoy the heat
And quit your whining, ey!"
It was a matter of a day
We always knew we'd have to pay
Yes, we could smell the candle it was burning
But we couldn't stop the wheel that was turning
And the tick, and the tock of our impossible clock
Tells the truth to my heart, which I cannot unlock
So I sip, and I sip to the bottom of my drink
And we sink, and we sink in your imaginary ship
Well I sip, and I sip to the bottom of my drink,
And we sink, and we sink in your imaginary ship
We must have done it every day
We must have driven it away
