Ferries
The ferries and starry skies
The lanterns, the lack of light
Reminding you of everything you have

Still missing the pouring rain
But you won't return again
You're laden - there is nothing more to add

Did you see us by the window
Waiting for a sign?
We won't rest until
We know that you are fine

Still missing the pouring rain
But you won't return again
You're laden - there is nothing more to add

It's the final call
The last way back
The lights will go out anytime
And you still are out on your own

Did you see us by the window
Waiting for a sign?
We won't rest until
We know that you are fine
The end of another day
It's time to be on your way
And from the sea they blow the final note

Cause ferries are out tonight
But you cannot make it right
It's been forever since you lost that boat

Did you see us by the window
Waiting for a sign?
We won't rest until
We know that you are fine
