Tail Of A Comet
Neil Finn

I’m on the tail of a comet, yeah
I see the parade
And the fist that knocks them down
On the wave of emotion, yeah
I can feel it coming
And my feet are off the ground

You took me into your confidence
When you asked me to
Come to your defence
And I will not fail you now
How could I

Hold on when you ride the tail
Of a comet
Tall ships that you sail upon
Like a promise
Hold on when you ride the tail
Of a comet

I said goodbye to a nervous man
When I opened my eyes
He was doing a headstand
There’s a picture of my fall from grace
I tried to ignore it
But the truth was in my face

I turned around and the flash had gone
I saw you before
You turned the headlights on
On the trail, on the trail now

…

Hold on when you ride the tail
Of a comet
Tall ships that you sail upon
Like a promise
Hold on when you ride the tail
Of a comet
Tall ships we’ll ride upon
Like a promise
