Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, end this day, show me the ocean
When shall I see the sea?
May this day set me in motion
I ought to be on my way
[Verse 2]
We were there
We were sailin' on the Terra Nova
Sailin' for the setting sun
Sailin' for the new horizon
[Verse 3]
May this day show me an ocean
I ought to be on my way
Ought to be on my way right now
[Verse 4]
Stepping on the boat
With a lump in my throat
On my way right now
[Verse 5]
I got a letter from a dear friend of mine
The story of a spiritual awakening
She spoke of her love returning in kind
She let me know that she'd be waiting
[Verse 6]
And I should be on my way by  now
Walkin' across the floor
Reachin' for the door
On my way by now
[Verse 7]
But here I sit
Country fool that I am
My elbow on my knee
And my chin in my hand
My mind in the gutter
And my eye on the street
Holed up in a cave of concrete
And I ought to be on my way right now
[Verse 8]
Packing my things
While the telephone rings
On my way right now
[Verse 9]
I miss my lovely mother
And I love my lonely father
I know I owe my brothers one thing and another
I hear my sister singin' Woo!
And I ought to be on my way right now
[Verse 10]
Moving across the land
With my heart in my hand
On my way right now
Ought to be on my way by now
[Verse 11]
Oh, end this day, set me in motion
Ought to be on my way
[Verse 12]
Out to the west of Lambert's Cove (Out to the west of Lambert's Cove)
There is a sail out in the sun (There is a sail out in the sun)
And I'm on board, though very small (And I'm on board, though very small)
I've come home to stop yearning (I've come home to stop yearning)
[Verse 13]
Burn off the haze around the shore (Burn off the haze around the shore)
Turn off the crazy way I feel (Turn off the crazy way I feel)
I'll stay away from you no more (I'll stay away from you no more)
I've come home to stop yearning (I've come home to stop yearning)
