Here in the dawn 
As I walk through this dream 
As I have done since ages now gone 
Shall I read you the letter 
They sent postmarked from somewhere out here 
It's in Latin, I think, I don't know 
Can you help me, my dear 
Please, can you help me, my dear 

Near to their bed (they never sleep) 
They sit sipping their tea, watch the sea 
Move the sand through their heads (sit in their chairs by the bay) 
Did I show you the marks on the wall 
Left by captains now dead (house out on the cove) 
They fell fighting for peace in their lives 
Or so it is said (still nobody seems to be here) 
Please, can you help me, my dear 
Please, can you help me, my dear 

You can't miss it 
A blue forest on a green sky 
You must risk it 
Don't ignore us if you want us to 
If we want us to survive 

Where will I be (can't you help me to find my way) 
After watching them walking the pier 
At the mouth of the sea (I've been lost for so long) 
They're in love with the news 
And don't show if they're living in fear (still nobody seems to be here) 
They eat ice cream alone 
Watch the waves at the end of the pier (ah, nobody seems to hear) 
Please, can you help me, my dear 
Please, can you help me, my dear
