"The Tug" lyrics

Pardon my brevity, working at a loss
How it pulls, how it pulls me apart
The sea calls for my love a day and a dawn
But it's all I can do to watch

And it goes, and it goes so angrily
And it pulls, and it pulls apart
A window, and I see, oh, a dove in the park
And a door that pulls me again

Ooh
The tug

Ooh
The tug

Verily, verily, ticking of the clock
How it hangs so stubbornly aloft
My innermost dreamer retracts at the thought
That I've stone wall missed the mark

And it burns, and it burns so angrily
And it cuts right down to teeth
I reach out of myself for a sense of relief
And embrace this day's defeat

Ooh
The tug

Ooh
The tug

Ooh
The tug

Ooh
The tug
