[Intro]

In a starlit sky

You're high above the light

And I drift away

For days

And weeks and months in life

[Chorus]

And you're by my bedside

In the creeks where your ashes lie

And you're by my bedside

In the creeks where your ashes lie

[Verse]

And the birds

On Howe Street caw

For all the good times gone

And you're drunk in the bath

You'd drawn

To sink and dream alone

[Chorus]

And you're by my bedside

In the creeks where your ashes lie

And you're by my bedside

In the creeks where your ashes lie

[Outro]

And Elaine's in the yard

Playing cards

But no one ever comes

Someday you'll run out

'Cause the clocks are ticking underground
