A New Shore

As captain of this band of merry sailors, I’m a black mark
I’m a failure, but before you watch me drown
I’m relinquishing command for something I don’t understand
This man’s about to turn his whole life upside down
I set a course for a new shore
It looked the same as the one before
And I forgot what I’d been sailing for
And why I thought this time would be different
I do most of this by feeling, let go of the wheel, the constellations Do the
navigation on their own
Whilst yearning for adventure, dreading censure in absentia
I would rather be at sea than be alone
I set a course for a new shore
It looked the same as the one before
And I forgot what I’d been sailing for
And why I thought this time would be different
Off the charts we drew
They said there wasn’t anything but fairy tales
I showed them it was you
I told them you were everything a fairy tale could be
The boat sails by
The shore remains and so do I
I swear this time will be different
I settled here on a new shore
My lips were blue and my legs were sore
And I forget if I was pushed or I jumped overboard
And after all this time, what’s the difference?
Land Ho! Land Ho! (Land Ho!)
Land Ho! (Land Ho!) Land Ho! (Land Ho!)
Land Ho! (Land Ho!) Land Ho! (Land Ho!)
Land Ho! Land Ho! (Land Ho!) Land Ho! Land Ho! (Land Ho!)
