"Last Words To A Refugee" lyrics

Oh my love what more can we do?
I feel so helpless, don't you?
This whole place began to self destruct
Long before we ever showed up

I can hold them off for a small while
Give your head start a few more miles
But once I go down, you're on your own
Don't stop till you get back home

And give my love to everyone there
Tell them we were right all along
How the music carried soft in the air
Till the sword suffocated the song

Down in the diving bell
Drowning in the wishing well
I'm still on the fence but I know you'll
Never believe it if I don't make it
So I might as well

Don't be a stranger, don't forget to write
Nobody does but I hope you'll try
All the empty mines and blown out hills
Only stood at last to forge our will

One fine day I'm gonna wake up when
What's lost came back again
And life will still be what it always was-
A drunk dance to the next gold rush

I'd need another lifetime baby, I'd need
Another voice to be sure
To get to all the things that need saying
Is this the way things always were?

Down in the diving bell
Drowning in the wishing well
I'm still on the fence but I know you'll
Never believe it if I don't make it
So I might as well
