Lyrics:
Go to sleep, we're so tired now
All together in a snakepit of souls
New days, throw your chains away
Try to hang your hopes on the wind
Little one, just a little way today
All we need is waiting

Night rise like the evening prize
In a turnstile, backwards we fly
Cold bones, tied together by
Black ropes we pulled from a swing
Little one, just a little way today
All our dreams are waking

Can't stand on crooked legs
I'm cross-eyed to the wall
In these harbor lights
Satellites explode

Drown drown, sailors run aground
In a sea-change, nothing is safe
Strange waves push us every way
In a stolen boat, we'll float away
Little one, just a little way today
All we need is waiting

Little one, just a little way today
All our dreams are waking
Little one, hold on, hold on
All our dreams are waking
