I thought I saw a flagship sailing by
And we have found the answer the sailors cry
But just as they were saying that their sea ran dry
Leaving just the shadows 'cross my wall

Our harvest it is endless the farmers cry
And we have always plenty here to see us by
Ten thousand people swept his fields just like a fire
Leaving just the shadows 'cross my wall

And their hearts are broke
By this timeless joke
But I ain't laughing too much
No I ain't laughing much at all

I thought I heard a preacher call I'm in too deep much too deep
And his dwindling flock they panicked then, they began to weep
I tried to keep the faith he called but there's none to keep
There's only just the shadow 'cross my wall
