Lyrics:

[Lyrics - Alan Duffy / Music - Steven Wilson]



The first thing that I saw as,

the fisherman smiled at me

Were empty people dressed in grey,

floating out to sea

The rain lashed down in darkness

A lizard blinked an eye

And time stopped in the silence

The small fish gave a cry



The next thing that I saw as,

things were fading fast

Were dreams of children's laughter,

smouldering to dust

The rain lashed down in darkness

A lizard blinked an eye

And time stopped in the silence

The small fish gave a cry



The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by

Were fields of empty people, laying down to die

The rain lashed down in darkness

A lizard blinked an eye

And time stopped in the silence

To watch the burning sky.
