Mission City

When I land on the shoulder where the waves meet the ocean Will the tide start to rise from the tears in your eyes Don't write me a letter, for I carry no postage Won't make you feel better for saying goodbye Sent away, far away, I inhabit this island You needed a break and put me on a train Made a trade, made a trade, so I left for the Sirens They sang me to sleep as I drifted away Call down from the hills hear 'em sing These cliffs are my headstone, this water my grave A beautiful woman with love on her wings And I'll never see Mission City again No I'll never see Mission City Again It feels like I'm dying, so why's that alright to me My mother she's crying, there's holes in my arms The hospital silence brings out what's left of me Nothing left here to see now that I'm done But I'll wait, I will wait, it's bound to get better The spell that I'm under, I'll keep it at bay I will run through the rain and call down the thunder If death is forever, forever can wait Call down from the hills hear 'em sing These cliffs are my headstone, this water my grave A beautiful woman with love on her wings And I'll never see Mission City again
