I Know Different

You think everyone is a basket case
Except for us, maybe we’re OK
But sometimes you worry ‘bout me
Just staring out to sea
Like I know different
Now the old man’s gone out to find some peace
With the wild lions on the beach
You don’t have to go so far
It’s happening where you are
We’re no different, on the inside
There’s a rhythmic tide
That pushes darkness out and shows in light 

Angel maker
See, learn, tame nature
Free, return, fade away
(A silhouette against the ocean spray
An image that he’ll take away
He won’t ever forget it) 

Now it’s on his mind, he could use some help
Stood his ground, only hurt himself
And you know he went through hell
Casting on the swell
And drifting on the inside
With no ship in sight
And every rhythm flowed into the night 

Angel maker
See, learn, tame nature
Free, return, fade away
(A silhouette against the ocean spray
An image that he’ll take away
He won’t ever forget it) 

One day when it’s over
All the borders will be open
In your honour, for your virtue
I never meant to hurt you
I surrender to the future
But I won’t be taken prisoner
I’ll stay with you if you let me
And the whole world can forget me
I know that you came to close up to
Believing that we’re through
But I know different
