We Go Out Lyrics

Was all in my head
As she walked round the corner
And all that she said was I
'Really look forward to
Meeting your mother
And meeting your daughter and
Are you an island
Or a drop in the water?'
Well I am an island
And I am a fortress
If you can breach these walls
I'll give you a quarter
Of gold that's not gold
It's a fortunate soul
She sings that my name's a story
That's sung when it's told!'

We go out
Into the rain when it pours
And the wind when it calls us

Now strummer once told me
Some rich and some poor
But when she cried I knew
She lived close to the shore
You see we're all born somewhere
And we all go someplace so
I'll be the wind in your face
And the hand at your oar...
Into the rain when it pours
And the wind when it calls us to
Roar into the new day that's dawning
And on then and on then and out

Well I've been a sailor
Passed sirens' sweet voices
She sat with a Chimera
Shucking wild oysters and
Choices of love are a
Monstrous thing they sing
'Choices of love are a
Hideous and monstrous thing'...

Into the rain when it pours
And the wind when it calls us to
Sing into the new day that's dawning
And on then and on then and out
Spokes on a wheel
Turn like words that go around
And I hope that I feel something
Deep and profound and the
Joker once told me to
'Never look down because
Hope is a breeze that comes once
So you better look out'

Into the rain when it pours
And the wind when it calls us to
Shout into the new that's dawning
And on then and on
We go out
Into the rain when it pours
And the wind when it calls us to
Howl into the new that's dawning
And on then and on then and out
