Lyrics

Splinters of You

The ship of my dreams is lost now
The main sail’s ripped and shredded
The compass has gone haywire
I can’t tell where I’m headed

The rocks, they took the rudder
And I’m floating aimlessly
And the figurehead’s smashed by a cannonball blast
But she’s drifting in splinters on the sea

The sun is somewhere out there
Casting a cloudy glow
But the galley slaves are oblivious
Asleep in the keep down below

While the cabin boy reads Lord Byron
The sirens get the rest of the crew
And the captain collects
Driftwood statuettes
That are all just splinters of you

Splinters of you
Aahhh
Splinters of you
Only splinters

The ship of my dreams is lost now
But it’s not a total wreck
The captain’s gone mad
But it’s not so bad
There ’s always a party on deck

The fun never ends
I got lots of friends
And lovers I’ve had a few
That’s a hell of a life
And I love all I got
But it’s all just splinters of you

Splinters of you
Aahhh
Splinters of you
Only splinters
All only splinters of you
