My father was a Night Guard,
And I would be one too,
If I could leave this island,
forget my dreams of you.
You sank beneath the water,
cold blue and crystal clear,
The peace that you were seeking,
It found you, mother dear.
And now I'm stuck with cleaning
the mess you left behind.
To go and die is one thing,
It's all this work I mind!
I skim the dreams of strangers,
Ponies I never knew.
I'm sick of all this thinking!
Just tell me - Who killed who?
I'll have a name in moments,
A crook to take the blame.
Cabotage! You're the killer!
I'm done here - buck this game!
I'm off to be a Night Guard,
Tides take this isle of fools!
I won't live in a palace,
but Night Guards follow rules.
None of this stupid squabbling,
No bicker, rue, or strife,
Concerning who said what thing,
or who kissed who's bat wife!
I'll catch the first old trawler,
yacht, schooner, galleon, raft,
I'll work my way or simply
'persuade' them with my craft.
But I will be a Night Guard.
Just watch me! It will come!
And swapping tales, I'll tell them,
the Dreams of Myinnkyun.
