lyrics

My brother in law is a miner,
my brother in law is a mixed race man.
Is he conflicted? Well you could wonder.
He makes his living deep and under the ground.
My brother in law loves my sister,
and that’s the matter, and all the matter.

There is a tide in the cares of men,
mine has gone out, and it’s not coming back in.

Now nothing is in itself curious,
that, in itself, is not curious.
I can leave most everything more or less
as it’s found.
The points in the sky make me wonder not why,
but why I’m not wondering why I’ve no wonder.

There is a tide in the cares of men,
mine has gone out, and it’s not coming back in.

Now I live in a place that sleeps in history,
and only awakens for some drowsy relations
like a drunk, sullen man,
rousing hard, with roving hand,
who has only thought of pleasure,
who is like to understand -
there is a limit,
there is a ceiling,
there is a shying away from all feeling.

There is a tide in the cares of men,
mine has gone out, and it’s not coming back in.
