Rosemary, she's calling my name
She's calling us all of the time
My Island is calling my too
But I ain't got no guts to pick it up
There are things I need to achieve up here
Just like you when you were young
Travelling up north with two kids in tow
I wouldn't have done it myself
Well you stayed up north and seldom came back
We're giving away all we have
Half of it goes to Rosemary
But the other half stays in the north
You might come home all of the time
You're always leaving it too
I don't have as much as you have
So I must stay around here
Well your life in the north and my life in the north
They're tied up forever, you know
They're bound to the ocean that lays between us
And we'll meet in the middle, one day
You and I, we share at least two things
The love of our folk back home
And this troublesome feeling when these folks are asking
"When are you coming back?"
You know I spent many hours
Trying to figure this out
But I don't seem to get any answer here
Well your life in the north and my life in the north
They're tied up forever, you know
They're bound to the ocean that lays between us
And we'll meet in the middle, one day
Come on now, come back to her
You know she's been waiting for you
Oh your selfishness and my selfishness
They're tied up forever, you know

Wait Jane

Sitting alone on this old rusty chair
All the cavemen around wouldn't know how I feel
And it's better this way
I've been there myself and there's nothing to gain
All the salesmen around me got something to sell
You know it, but you still gotta do
Hey, Jane, eighteen and jaded
Come around when you want more
And I'll give you some more
It's long passed the sunrise in the harbour,
The shipyard's a mess and I'm right in between
And it's pointing West all around me
Hey, Jane, eighteen and jaded
Come around when you want more
And I'll give you some more
When I come back here, you'll still be north
And I'll still be west and we'll know where we are
It took time, but we figured it out

Silence

Silence, can't you see me
I'm flirting with your girlfriend but you don't mind
These feelings they come and go all around
But I haven't seen you smiling in a long time
Well you're sympathy won't let you down
You're feeling tall, you say
I'd like to see it, some day
Silence, can't you see me
I'm flirting with your girlfriend but you don't mind
These feelings I'm trying to get off you just now
They're meant to break you down and shake you to the ground
But you're sympathy won't let you down
You're feeling tall, you say
I'd like to see it, some day
Silence, can't you see me
I'm flirting with your girlfriend but you don't mind
These feelings I'm trying to get off you just now
They're meant to break you donwn and smile in the morning
But you're sympathy won't let you down
You're feeling tall, you say
I'd like to see it, some day

The people they all look like ants from here
The Mediterranean feeling is gone
Despite the heavy wond they all carry on their way
To the next step ahead and they'd call it their fate
All by my
All by my
All by my window
The world is all blurry down there
But it's so quite here
I looked throught the door and caged the wind
I looked down below and now it's hell from here
I can't seem to see all the danger down there
I cancelled my latest appointment to see it
All by my
All by my
All by my window
A war was a-waging up here
But it's quite again
A war was a-waging up here
But it's quite again
