ships lost at sea
on oceans of trees
slowing down the winds that move them
far be it for me
to reap what you've sown
a sailor's life is all I've known
have you ever known
the never-known?
it can be under any stone
leaves on a tree
fighting to be free
knowing that the winter's coming
gone with the breeze
that nobody sees
I can hear the gardens growing
back to soil
to find the sun
find a new haven
new trees to climb
you'll find yours someday
and I'll find mine

so I'll say good luck and all that stuff
to you now
my nearest and my dearest only one
you were the sanest of the bunch
until they laid him down to rest
how could I know?
no one's gonna make you choose
I'm not stalling, I'm just looking for your excuse
and when you walked beside
your lord and savior
he was tall
so fine, so green,
so able to descend from heights unknown
to you or all your newfound friends
he let you down when he said
how should I know?
no one's gonna make you choose
I'm not Stalin, I'm just giving you an excuse
and I'm not coming down
for some dog in heat
you call to me with your desperate eyes
and I'm not falling for that
at least not while I can breathe
you call to me in the dead of night
and you come to me
with that scent on your sleeve
I'm not fucking around
I will cut you down
so I say good luck and all that stuff
to you now
it's nothing that you would have ever said
three words that you had said to someone else
you say them now to me
how am I supposed to believe?
how am I supposed to behave?

they called your name
and said, go
we'll stay, you go
you're light as daylight
when you go
the crosswinds blow
hours indoors
look out on distant shores
you know you won't go
you've come too far
you're light as daylight
when you go
you stay then go
they're calling loud saying
you know the past is gone
and now it's time
let out the light
you are turning into
