Tall Ship

Once upon a time, I thought this was gonna last Even though this ship was sailing way too fast Wind out of the ordinary Unfavorably contrary We took more load than we could carry More shit than we could bury Every day, we hoped someone was gonna see the flares While all the pretty dreams, evoke the nightmares Our tall ship glide out of our hands Like children play with sand So impressive at a glance But couldn't quite withstand Now the question is Will we move ahead Towards the old shore Or the ocean bed A silent way beyond the quiet A war beyond the riot A wish to do good 'til you apply it It hurt before you try it A silent way beyond the quiet A war beyond the riot A wish to do good 'til you apply it It hurt before you try it Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
