The Veils - Someday My Love Will Come

I had a thought
I tore a page and I wrote it down
And I took a train
Yeah I took a train out to the edge of town

Where the ocean frothed and foamed
And the moonlight wore a crown
Well I know some would surely say
That swimming is the surest way to drown

Someday my love will come

Then I approached the great machine
And ran my finger through the oils
To the vanquished come the rain
And to the victor come the spoils

Now I can hear you laughing
Hear you laughing all the time
And they all drink up your laughter
Yeah they all drink up your laughter like wine

Someday my love will come

Now you bury it away
And you're dancing in the street
With your pockets full of stones
Or sailing off in your little lifeboat
To a tropical island
Where they'll devour your flesh like bread
And drink your blood like wine

Someday my love will come
