Luke The Navigator

It was a very long time ago

We set sail, on a one man boat

And all the while we go, stories etched out

On the waters flow

John did not know his name

And Matthew spoke of his feeble frame

"My Luke! The navigator"

Well he drew Mark's finger towards the equator

And I, I could not wait for you to see

And I, I could not wait for you to hear the sounds of the ocean's water

Crashing against the headland

And the earth congratulating the mainland

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh

Since we’ve been gone so long

I can’t recall the words to my own songs

The crusaders say I’m doing fine

And the guitar’s roaring down like a fine wine

The voice, the voice of an angel

Conjured up from the depths of hell

One thing I forgot to ask them

Was when did this boat become so ecclesiastical

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh

John did not know his name

And Matthew spoke of his feeble frame

"My Luke! The navigator"

Well he drew Mark's finger towards the equator

And I, I could not wait for you to see

And I, I could not wait for you to hear the sounds of the ocean waters

Crashing against the headland, and the earth congratulating the mainland

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh
