It helps me to melt into another day
and assists me to flow downstream
but not into Morecambe bay because that's a long way away from this underground
and
down here it's not so clear.

I should turn around
swim against the current
until I've found
what it is that I'm looking for.

Being brave is a long haul from being strong
so I'll carry in with the tidal
keep those suicidal
thoughts buried deep.

and he?
he dies on a distant horizon.

But there is some good cheer
the weekend's almost here and
some quality time for me and for mine.

Still flowing
slowly
but going
and going is what we all do.
