[Verse 1]

My steps

My steps are giddy

And my thoughts, a little too naive

But I hope the wake

The wake is pretty

Like a boat out on the sea

My ears

A little too close to hear

And my eyes

A little too blurred to see

But I hope the wake

The wake is pretty

Like a boat out on the sea

[Chorus]

With a fistful of coal and a blackened eye

I give it all up to you so pure and divine

I am just a man with two blinkered eyes

Trying to stare you down

[Verse 2]

We find gold in the place you don't look for

We're just searching for it all the time

But too heavy for a mortal man

I give it up
