Brian Eno, John Cale - Empty Frame lyrics
[Brian Eno, John Cale - Empty Frame lyrics]
So they rode the sea it went on and on
They were years away
Though it seemed so long
But the captain never told them what he knew
As the poor ship laboured on
Through the endless blue
Oh, the storm was strong
And the ship was so frail
But they stumbled on raising broken sails
And they held the heavy sky
On their open hands
And they dreamed of when their poor
Feet would touch the land
Baby, we're going round in circles
Where is this place we're going to?
Does anybody know we're out
Here on the waves?
And are any of our signals coming through?
We're going 'round in circles
We have no single point of view
And like the clouds that turn
To every passing wind
We turn to any signal that comes through
At the edge of the sea
Were the signs of the dove
But the wrong way out and the wrong way up
We pushed the empty frame of
Reason out the cabinet door
No we won't be needing reason anymore
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
They were years away
Though it seemed so long
But the captain never told them what he knew
As the poor ship laboured on
Through the endless blue
Oh, the storm was strong
And the ship was so frail
But they stumbled on raising broken sails
And they held the heavy sky
On their open hands
And they dreamed of when their poor
Feet would touch the land
Baby, we're going round in circles
Where is this place we're going to?
Does anybody know we're out
Here on the waves?
And are any of our signals coming through?
We're going 'round in circles
We have no single point of view
And like the clouds that turn
To every passing wind
We turn to any signal that comes through
At the edge of the sea
Were the signs of the dove
But the wrong way out and the wrong way up
We pushed the empty frame of
Reason out the cabinet door
No we won't be needing reason anymore
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
