HERE'S TO YOU

washed up in Coketown, down and halfway dead
holes in my pockets, holes in my head 
I was walking on the water, I was staring at the blue 
I was walking down the street and I started falling through

so here's to you, whoever you may be
you that held me up when I was sinking in the sea
if you were in Kiltartan and me in Katmandu
I still would not forget you, I would do the same for you

half a million strangers without a hand to lend 
anyone I talked to was my oldest friend 
a barman or a policeman, a lamppost or a dog 
I heard the Virgin Mary singing in the fog 

so here's to you, whoever you may be you that held me up when I was sinking in the sea if you were in Kiltartan and me in Katmandu I still would not forget you, I would do the same for you
