Staring out the window of the bus, I watch the limits fall away
Dig the lights of the Volkswerft Stralsund come alive on the blackening sea
The name might mean nothing to you, it meant nothing to me
But I’ve got Rostock to the south of me, there’s no place that I’d rather be

Fishing boats are stranded off the coast, their blinking lights send warnings home
There’s a campfire somewhere miles along the beach but I’ll just dig this scene alone
Tonight might mean nothing to you, it means something to me
I’ve got Poland to the east of me, there’s no place that I’d rather be

And our world full of hypocrisy I will cast into the bay
The Baltic moon shines down on all that’s lost to me
The tide carries it away

Things I dug back when I was a kid tonight just chill me to the bone
Stars weigh heavy on my awkward heart, the tide is calling me back home
The world might mean something to you, it means nothing to me
I’ve got darkness straight ahead of me, there’s no place that I’d rather be

And the world tonight is lost to me, just a reflection in the bay
The Baltic moon shines down on our hypocrisy
The tide carries it away
