The Mapless Sea

There was a boy who wandered Travelled the oceans wide Followed the constellations They kept telling me I'd be just fine They kept telling me I'd be just fine Boy of the mapless sea Called to the birds above Followed the tides of the moon She kept telling me I'd be just fine She kept telling me I'd be just fine Well the boy had a shadow He followed it all the way It whispered to him at night Keep on rowing and you'll be just fine Keep on rowing and you'll be just fine Follow the silver lights That shine beneath the waves Swim down to the bottom Keep on swimming and you'll be just fine Keep on swimming and you'll be just fine When he got to the bottom There was nothing to find Broken boats and bottles Swim back up and you'll be just fine Swim back up and you'll be just fine So the boy left his shadow Beneath the rolling sea All the waves were singing Keep on rowing and you'll be just fine Keep on rowing and you'll be just fine Calling out, tearing at the darkness Calling out, slipping through a memory Calling out, swallowed by a shadow Calling out, out across the morning...
