the unexpected ways are deeper than we thought
the days until tomorrow won’t leave us caught

we dream away and drift as long as it is bright
outside we go and roll with height and light

but sickness reaches out and finally comes close
illyric shores are seen and then are those

who never reached the deep blue sea until today
the headaches make his thoughts move on so far away

we wish so much for all the stuff that we can buy
but when we only miss our health we’re left to cry

hush, hush, then go to bed my dear
and will you get your fingers off that beer!
