Song lyrics
Tiredness fuels empty thoughts
I find myself disposed
Brightness fills empty space
In search of inspiration
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me

So I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
When I'm down, down, down

Rain it wets muddy roads
I find myself exposed
Tapping doors, but irritate
In search of destination
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me

So I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
When I'm down

When I'm down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down

I agree that this song is a bit too much sometimes, for example at the time with the opera-thing. I don't I hate it, but I don't think it's as good as the rest of the album "O".
I love the text, especially the part that begins with "rain it away".
When I listen to Damien Rice, I really feel his passion for music, this guy is amazing and I REALLY wish that he'll come to Denmark soon.
Or, it would be nice to see a new cd from him, but I haven't heard anything.
I really love this man's music.

This is the only Damien Rice song I really don't like. It's too... whiney for my taste, I guess. It doesn't feel complete, you know? And the opera... it just doesn't work at all. Too many strings. Sorry, but I think he totally overdid it here. The lyrics are sweet, but the rest just does not keep his usual standards.

So has no one ever thought to listen to the entire track and post the lyrics to the two hidden tracks? just curious... i mean i thought it was a bit suspicious that a 16 minute long song stopped after about 5...

This is an amazing song, it starts with great music and lyrcis and has some funky opera-like singing in the middle which pulls it into a very understated ending. Just goes to show that this is truly a great album. Enjoy the easy going starter (the first 5 songs) and then savour the last 6 over some wine and a few months. Lovely.
