Like the wind that carried ahab
|
To a far, more distant shore,
|
To a shipwreck that was certain
|
Long before.
|
I can see there's no use sailing
|
Among ships i've known before.
|
It will only bring me more,
|
And more and more
|
Lonely sailing nights, more,
|
Racing, dimming lights.
|
Lonely nights, and all too
|
Familiar sights.
|
|
Just as water seeks its level,
|
So i only seek to live;
|
Hoping somehow i can find
|
A way to give.
|
And the sea, it softly beckons,
|
"come and go where you've not been."
|
With the dawning of a new day,
|
I'm gone, again.
|
Lonely sailing nights,... gone,
|
Racing, dimming lights,
|
Lonely nights,
|
And all too
|
Familiar sights.
