Sailor Song
With the first light and the little fragile moonI was out on the porch now I'm ready for doomAnd it's funny how it all came to beThe way you so plainly chose to stare at me
And the afternoon embraces you like a million worried handsAnd I want to look forward go discover foreign landIn the mirror I was balancing on tiny stringsIt looks silly but oh really it's just a physical thing
So tell me why you'd ask me to do as I pleaseI would rather fall backwards and forget everythingAnd I've tried to call on you when I know you're not homeI'm not ready for this but it's the way it goes
It was easier when I knew nothing of what I'd missedYou're so happy I can see it and that's the worst part of itSo let her take you out on seaI will wave to you from the harbor oh little silly me
The sailors leave in the morningI'll be waiting for you all nightThe ship sets off in the morningI'll be waiting for you all right
