Just an empty tin can on the river top
Let me sing while I can find the time to stop
It’s the same old story
I won’t let it bore me
And the tide’s running out

I’m a piece of flotsam drifting away
My only destination is the end of day
The water’s all around me
Let it drown me
The tide’s running out

And in the end I’ll drift into the sea
There I’ll pretend I have eternity
But in those murky depths
Will I ever find rest?
The tide’s running out

There are other tin cans floating down the stream
All of us are saying ‘Life is what it seems’
But if I drag them with me
Will they ever forgive me?
The tide’s running out
