"Rubberman" lyrics

He's a rubber man with elastic plans
Conjured up in dreams from a distant land
Like a loose strand doing what he can
In a tangled world, trying to understand

Oh, my love stretches on like the sea
But now we are drowning in our common history

She's a soldier on a foreign field
But now we're older I don't know how to feel
She's my sister and I'd do anything
If I could show her what she means to me

Oh, my love stretches on like the sea
But now we are drowning in our common history

Thin hope, I cling to it like plastic wrap
Everything will be easier now
Hope that you'll come back to the one
The one I knew before I lose hope
Cling to it like plastic wrap
Everything will be easier now
Hope that you'll come back to us like
The one I knew

Thin hope, I cling to it like plastic wrap
Everything will be easier now
Hope that you'll come back to the one
The one I knew before I lose hope
Cling to it like plastic wrap
Everything will be easier now
Hope that you'll come back to us like
The one I knew
