Miles Out To Sea

(album: Old New Borrowed And Blue / Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet - 1974)

From the corner of my eye, I was looking out and why
To see all the things we did, to see hope in where we hid
From the outside looking in, was a stranger with a grin
Seeing bombhead on a rope, he was swinging high and low,
high and low
We were miles out to sea did we float, you and me?
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
We were miles from the bay did we float, I should say
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore

From the corner of my eye, I was looking out and why
There were sounds you never heard and then dump was the new word
Look at last nite was that nite, a sharp lady got it right
We song songs from cabaret and we laughed the night away,
right away

We were miles out to sea did we float, you and me?
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
We were miles from the bay did we float, I should say
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore

The mad monk was such a sight, red hair hanging in the light
And a temple to call home, is he living there alone?
From the outside looking in, was a stranger with a grin
He saw all the things we did, we saw hope in where we hid, yes we did

We were miles out to sea did we float, you and me?
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
We were miles from the bay did we float, I should say
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore
