I’m in transit
Floating stranded on this boat
And I pledge myself allegiance
To a better night sleep at home

And the sweet, sweet sun’s comin’ down
Hard, the sun’s comin’ down
Hard, it burns the bones
So hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm

Talk don’t change a thing
Oh, it’s fading fader
(I’m in transit)
Words don’t sink, it swims
(Ah, sweet as a moment, be that it may)
Oh, it’s fading fader

Bless this mess, we tried our best
That’s all that we can do
While the angels walk with the lonely ones
In the cold rain to rescue you

And this fable world’s comin’ down
Hard, walls comin’ down
Hard, in all our homes
So hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm
