lyrics

I been sailing on like a ship
without a rudder
Cause I can say the right thing
when I’m feeling another
Go as I go with every song I’d sing
Turn your brain off
Like a modern man

Everything you made looks all so easy
I try and let go but it won’t release me
Making my time with a life as I can
Making it last with a poor laid plan

He said I don’t know how you
feel nothing
Can’t say I can get there myself
I don’t know how you feel nothing
Can’t say I can get there myself

And the earth and sky are so lonely
Is there a song is I’d like to sing?
But the earth and tide is on our side
I’d rejoice if I believed

Can’t just make it so
Waking nights for more
Your life is back on easy street
Your time’s just stretched away from me

Hold another road
Holding up this door
Your life is back on easy street
Your pain’s not pain enough for me

I’ve been sailing on to the
Campobello border
I’ve been chasing my light to the lighthouse mortar
Go as I go
Til the sea meets rain
I’d turn my brain off and let the
tower drink

(Hey man) I don’t know how you feel nothing
Can’t say I can get there myself
I don’t know how you feel nothing
Can’t say I can get there myself

And the earth and sky are so lonely
Is there a song I’d like to sing?
But the earth and tide is on our side
With every prophet I believe

And the earth and sky release me
But I can’t let go just now
Cause the earth and tide awake my eyes
to every broken heart beat loud
