And Yet Lyrics by Sting
This town, this stain on the sunrise
Disguised in the mist, this morning.
It's 8 AM, a seagull shouts
A sailor's warning, this sky.
This bend in the river
Slows down and delivers me
The tide rolls back
And all my memories fade to black.
And yet,
And yet
I'm back
This town has a strange magnetic pull
Like a homing signal in your skull
And you sail by the stars of the hemisphere
Wondering how in the hell did you end up here?
It's like an underground river or a hidden stream
That flows through your head and haunts your dream
And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack
And there's nothing round here that the wide world lacks.
And yet,
And yet
You're back
Some night I'd lie on the deck and I'd stare
At the turning of the stars
Those constellations hanging up there
From the cables and the rigging
I wonder if she saw the same or managed to recall my name
Why would she ever think of me, some boy she loved who fled to sea?
