Cossack Tide

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'vе no wonder There is a tidе 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
