Steven Page - A New Shore lyrics

rate me

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!)

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
