A pale blue day rising
as I'm sailing away from the scene of the crime
just a few more miles and
we're strangers again
no traces behind me
yeah the water will sweep away the blood and the gold
I wait for big waves to find me
and hope afloat we hold
such a shimmering misfortune
such a dark kind of bliss
I cry rivers or oceans
till I get over it
such a shimmering misfortune
such a dark kind of bliss
I cry rivers or oceans

no ship wreck sensation
you won't hear about it on the morning news
as if the shore wasn't shaking
well let's run back one more time
and if I dive deep down will I find the spark
will I come up with what I thought was lost
will I breathe easily
will I retrieve what was mine
such a shimmering misfortune
such a dark kind of bliss
I cry rivers or oceans
till I get over it
such a shimmering misfortune
such a dark kind of bliss
I cry rivers or oceans

(such a shimmering misfortune)
I cry rivers or oceans
(such a shimmering misfortune)
till I get over it
I cry rivers or oceans
till I get over it
I cry rivers or oceans
will it be rivers or oceans
I cry rivers or oceans
till I get over it
I cry rivers or oceans
