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 feel and 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 Of the charts we drew, they said There wasn't anything but fairy tales I told 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 the 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! (Land, ho!) (Land, ho!)
