Telegraph cables hum
And few can decipher who the message is from
And deliver it quietly
'Cause some don't get much companyThe harbor becomes the sea
And lighting the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
And don't let it hurt you or it will be the first toThe water, the water
Didn't realize
It's dangerous size
The mountain, the mountain
Came to recognize
It's steep and rocky sides
More than realizedOoh, ooh, ooh, oohPale as a pile of bones
You hope for your babies
And this is how they growWind-battered, knocked over
The teeth by the shoulder
Watching the gray sky
That's acting like a good guyThe water, the water
Came to realize
It's a dangerous size
The mountain, the mountain
Came to recognize
It's steep and rocky sidesCame to recognize
It's steep and rocky sides
More than realized
