I bid farewell to the ghosts of Elsinore
Their silken gowns against the white, white shore
The tainted skies, the HH-Ferries - their hearts of chrome
The wheezin' starlings and the dashin' foam

Down by Smuggler's Bay the pines turn scarlet and gold
I used to sit there and play my guitar when I was fifteen years old
Whisperin' words like "maybe" and "someday" in the flickerin' dawn
I laid me down and slept upon the emerald lawns

Day by day I'm a-losin' the blues
Once again shall music swell this tired chest
Morning's comin' through the woods now
The river's on the rise
The frost is gone
The rusty gears are turnin'
And I'm alive

I was locked in tight, but springtime's pushin' through the Judas tree
Horatio, there's more to this world than is dreamt of in your philosophy
May your shackles be what sets you free, she'll come to thee
With frankincense and almonds all the way from Galilee

Slings and arrows, January, rosy cheeks
I fell into the ocean of her pity
Hungry, bloody tigers - straight out of Colosseum
Came chargin' down the halls of the museum

Day by day I'm a-losin' the blues
Once again shall music swell this tired chest
Morning's comin' through the woods now
The river's on the rise
The frost is gone
The rusty gears are turnin'
And I'm alive

Come watch me haul my wicked past into the deep
Where the great leviathans lie forgotten, fast asleep
Come flamin' drakes and night crows, make me music
Bewitchin' like the wanton mermaid's song

I've heard 'em say that love is longer than the way
That hell is deeper than the sea
That death is colder than the clay
Tomorrow night, just like a renegade, I'll slip away

Day by day I'm a-losin' the blues
Once again shall music swell this tired chest
Morning's comin' through the woods now
The river's on the rise
The frost is gone
The rusty gears are turnin'
And I'm alive
