Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I got here by boat
And I don't intend to stay
The town clerk's black coat
Is already turning grey
I look out
And I doubt
[Verse 2]
I've been here one day
And already things feel cruel
An old lady's cursing
At somebody next to you
I look out
And I shout
[Verse 3]
Well I'm shimmering in gold
Shimmering in view
I used to dream in colors
Now I dream in blues
I look out
This town felt so gold
From the shores
I look out
And I don't want to see anymore
[Verse 4]
People are trained in hate
Sending guns to kill
Already we're forgettin'
What we were put here to do
I look out
And I cry
[Verse 5]
And trees are a-fallin'
At no man's expense
Greed, jealousy
A body up for rent
I look out
And I shout
[Verse 6]
Well I'm shimmering in gold
Shimmering in view
I used to dream in colors
Now I dream in blues
I look out
This town felt so gold
From the shore
I look out
And I don't want to see anymore
[Verse 7]
An empathy forgotten
With no man's grace
I can't recall
The last time I saw a true face
I look out
And I die
[Verse 8]
Words are bombs
Bombs are words
I miss the oblivion
Of being a young girl
I look out
I shout
[Verse 9]
Well I'm shimmering in gold
Shimmering in view
I used to dream in colors
Now I dream in blues
I look out
This town felt so gold
From the shore
I look out
And I don't want to see anymore
I look out
And I don't want to see anymore
