No Telling When - The Mutton Birds

Are these the hands of a man?

I suppose so

I recall them shaking the hands of other men

Now all they seem to do is write in this log book

That’s all they’ve done since I can’t remember when

And there’s

No telling when

I’m going to be

Carried in

But in my mind

I see the land

There’s a footprint in the sand, and it’s going to be…

Mine… It's going to be

Mine… It's going to be mine

Is this a human face in the mirror?

It looks just like a piece of the sea

I’ve been staring at the waves so very long now

My eyes are playing tricks on me

And there’s

No telling when

I’m going to be

Carried in

But in my mind

I see the land

There’s a footprint in the sand, and it’s going to be…

Mine… It's going to be

Mine… It's going to be mine

I had a friend who said «Don't read these papers

The writing inside is always so small»

But in the end it was him who started shrinking

In the end you couldn’t see him at all

And there’s

No telling when

I’m going to be

Carried in

But in my mind

I see the land

There’s a footprint in the sand, and it’s going to be…

Mine… It's going to be

Mine… It's going to be mine
