Best of the Best of Times

[Verse 1]
When the world speaks
It rattles through me like an antique
Or maybe it rings like an old bell
Wishing us some kinda farewell
A weight in the window, a beacon
The batten down
End of the season
Lullaby blue

It is two doves
Trying to eat of of summer
And chewing their words

[Chorus]
Were a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times

[Verse 2]
There's a broken cocktail round in the ocean
Holding me under the table
Tethering me down like a cradle
Drowning me out
With an amen
They're all in hand
And in all legs [?]
Everything's fine

[Chorus]
Were a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times
A long way, long way
From the best of the best of times

[Verse 3]
And I wonder
Wether our days are unnumbered
If one is the same an another
Wether we mistook the colours
For the real thing

If we'll ring out
Brimming and broken and somehow
Truer than blue
And then come to
Hold from the wreck
In the day break
All equal and safe

[Chorus]
Were a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times
