Said The Whale
Out on the Shield
We never meant to stay hereWe were here for the goldWe got stuck here for the winterBlinded by golden dollar signsWe built some simple structuresTemporary, not permanentBut each year we dug much deeperAnd each year things got more seriousEach year our hearts grew weakerBlinded by golden dollar signsWe never meant to stay hereWe were here for the goldPut a lump of coal in my handSqueeze just as tight as I canHope for a brand new diamondI know it's slight but it's all I canI promise honey that when we get paidWe'll pack our things and we'll move awayA thousand miles from this frozen lakeWe'll find a place where we both can stayWe'll find a city with a million peopleFind an apartment where the rent is real lowLetras de cancionesWe'll disappear and no one will noticeHow about it Darling?We could both live downtownWe never meant to stay hereWe were here for the goldWe never meant to stay hereBut we're just dumb animals with our paws in the hole, grasping goldNow we're stuck in a small townOut on the shieldBut it lost its appeal long agoWe wake up at dawn and kiss our wives on the foreheadAnd we slowly make our way into the cavesWhere we will forget the faces of our children and our small regretsLike, I should have kept that lucky penny while I had the chance
