From the recording Periscope Heart
Lyrics
Whistling Intro
Sailing away
On a ship with no anchor
On a course without compass
Only stars.
Drifting by day
In a sea of mixed meaning
Such a small lonely vessel
Like a ship in a jar.
CHORUS:
Tossed around
Lost and found
Still I’m so far from shore.
But at least, I’m the captain
I’m not first mate anymore.
Sailing away
Though the sky looks uncertain
The horizon a curtain
Come what may.
Leaving behind
That old cargo of sorrow
There’s just now and tomorrow
Where I’m bound, I can’t say.
BRIDGE:
But if we pass
In the night
Shine your light
Shine it bright
For we’re so far from shore.
But at least, we’re the captains
We’re not first mates anymore.
At last, we’re the captains
We’ve got oceans to explore.
(Whistling Outro)
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away, brave soul
Sail away.
