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!)
