Lyrics

I took the long way home
Thought of you sinking to the rock and stone
when you’re lonely it’ll come on slowly
like lines on the back of your hands
creep across you like shifting sands

And you were so far away from home
Holding the wrong side of a wishing bone

Out where the water meets the sky
I caught you in the corner of my eye
I saw you drowning but you never waved
I just watched hoping you’d be saved
Now I’m haunted by the ripples
on the surface of the waterline

And you were so far away from home
Holding the wrong side of a wishing bone

There was a time when I could see us
Clear as the day before the darkness took my mind
I remember when people wanted to be us
Back in the days before it started to unwind
Now I’m haunted by the ripples
on the surface of the waterline

And you were so far away from home
Holding the wrong side of a wishing bone
