look around
this is the landscape that we're in
there is the house we've built
and there's our yellow dustbin
and just behind those trees

you can see the little barn
we used to jump into the hay
like we were diving in the ocean

walk through the garden now
and smell them herbs and spices
go strolling up that hill
to where the rotting stake is
you are looking down on me
and i am looking up to you
think again
now think again
about what you want do

all the promises you make i cannot keep
all the dreams you bring about are far too deep
and one more thing to make this misery complete
i wanna know
cause i don't know
just why you want to go

look around
this is the landscape that we're in
gracefully surging fields
a thunderbolt enlightening
the narrow path we used to walk
as if we'd sail the seven seas
to hide away and booze and fuck
like sailors out on shore-leave

all the promises you make i cannot keep
all the dreams you bring about are far too deep
and one more thing to make this misery complete:
it seems you played the game
just a little smarter
and while my brittle raft will sink
you go walking on the water

look around
this is the landscape that we're in
the lake the trees the birds and bees
and everything's revolving
the clouds between the sky and i
slowly drift apart
the rain will wash away the tears
and soothe your aching heart

all the promises you make i cannot keep
all the dreams you bring about are far too deep
and one more thing...
