[Verse 1]
Sit at the foot of my bed
She said, "Like a ghost
Watch a boat in a cove
Lose hope, who knows?"
Here there’s a shadow
A girl in the shade
Wants to find someone
So what, who knows?

[Chorus]
In our past
We were such a mess
We did our best
Only time will tell
It’s our past
It’s a wreck
We do our best
And the spark will glow

[Verse 2]
Sit at the foot of my bed
She said, "Like a ghost
Watch a boat in a cove
Lose hope, who knows?"
As summer fades waves carry
Your soft knowing gaze
Marigolds in a row
So what, who knows?
[Chorus]
In our past
We were such a mess
We did our best only
Time will tell
It’s our past
It’s a wreck
We do our best and
The spark will glow

[Outro]
Letting go, the lines we tow
Surrender what we thought we know
Letting go, the lines we tow
Tending to the spark up close
