Wayward son where are you heading?
Your fire burns soon it will be setting
Wounded like a plane with one wing

Darling to kiss your affliction on the sea

You spun a wheel and laid it all on a wager

Then your fist are you walking papers?
Now smile please upon your lips
And i'll lay something that you can't resist


You're on your own without a moment's rest
While your heart pounds against your chest

In the twilight you wait to hear the whispering of the waves
Washed up like a castaway
Washed up like a castaway


Dismal day tumbles like a clown
Just in time to peel yourself from the ground

Like a snake you can slip from your skin
Oh to blow from town to town like a gipsy or a whim


Golden boy where is your midas touch?
For everything around you has turned to dust
Now you're live in fear of the hand

Would you come and turn it all on your palaces?

You're on your own without a moment's rest

While your heart pounds against your chest
In the twilight you wait to hear the whispering of the waves
Washed up like a castaway

Washed up like a castaway
