Lyrics
A pawn of worn-down linden wood from Café De Meeuw.
The thirty-first of January, nineteen fifty-three.
Your thumbprint on the condensation, drawing something new.
The Noord-Beveland ferry horn, a half-step out of key.
[Chorus]
(Second Vocalist)
We hold this square of borrowed light

(Second Vocalist)

[Outro]
(Second Vocalist)
The bishop on its final square for me.
