A Few Empty Waves
Cats On Fire

My cargo was gold and myrrh

When it all took a turn for the worse

From then on, diminishing returns

The sea had brought me some fortune and fame

I was still hoping for more of the same

Thought I had to readjust my aim

And then, long and boring

A period of calm

I’d do anything

Me and my companion

A portuguese water dog

In his finest years

I’d do anything

Faithful and hard working

In someone else’s service

We’re bound to spend our days

For the young and the restless

We leave a few empty waves

The 5th of August, I sighted land

Now I ask you if I can

Tie my boat, even leave it in the sand

The sea had brought me some fame

I had been hoping for more of the same

But now I had to reconsider my game

Gather your council

Signal me with flags

I’d do anything

Me and my companion

A portuguese water dog

In his finest years

I’d do anything

Faithful and hard working

In someone else’s service

We’re bound to spend our days

For the young and the restless

We leave a few empty waves

Gather your council

I wait for the flags

I’d do anything

Me and my companion

A portuguese water dog

In his finest years

I’d do anything

Faithful and hard working

In someone else’s service

We’re bound to spend our days

For the young and the restless

We leave a few empty waves
