(Here I stand)
When all's said and done
(Here I stand)
The old ghosts are not so wise
(Still we philosophise)

I looked into myself
Like you told me
There was nothing there
Where there should be

(Here I stand)
So I looked into the void
Above it sat a crow (here I stand)
He asked me "do you know?
The places that we go? (here I stand)
The people we become
When all's said and done?
(When all's said and done...)

So here I stand, a man unplanned
With memories in my left hand
The future held within my chest
With no answers yet left to rest
It's easy then, to turn to space
Confront the void to find your place
And see then, sadly, that somehow
That there can be
No true tomorrow, now

(The old ghosts are not so wise)
I can't see tomorrow, now
(So we still philosophise)
There is no tomorrow, now
(The old ghosts are not so wise)
There is no tomorrow, now
(So we still philosophise)

(Still we philosophise)

And at the end of suffering
Measuring the string
When we're running out of rope
I try to find, try to find hope

(It's not easy)
(It's not easy)

"Look at the ygritte
See the heron
Look at the views
You get at sunset here in devon"

So here I sing, still suffering
With worries and with wondering
The winter that will turn to spring
And fall that follows everything
And seasons, still, are nothing then
Repeating reel, come round again
The navel gaze, the fountain pen
The answers there of older, wiser men

(The old ghosts are not so wise)
They are not my answers, then
(So we still philosophise)
They are not my answers, then
(The old ghosts are not so wise)
They are not my answers, then
(So we still philosophise)
They are not my answers, then

Forget the moon, it won't last
You'll never live
While searching for the past
Forget the night
The blue light in your room
Don't check the time
It might be over soon

So turn towards tomorrow, now
Pain of the past, we disavow
It's earned it's place
It's with us still
It doesn't fade
With the sugar pill

(Look at the ygritte)
Forget the moon, it won't last
(See the heron)
You'll never live
While searching for the past
(Look at the views
You get at sunset here in devon)
Forget the night
The blue light in your room
Don't check the time
It might be over soon
(Look at the ygritte)
So turn towards tomorrow, now
(See the heron)
Pain of the past, we disavow
(Look at the views
You get at sunset here in devon)
It's earned it's place
It's with us still
It doesn't fade with the sugar pill

(It doesn't fade with the sugar pill)
(I just fell off the chair at the end...)
(And still we philosophise)
