In Search of England

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The boy:

I was cast adrift, without a hope

My only friend is my old boat

With an empty sea and an open sky

A void no man can justify.

The old man:

Your sacrifices will ensure

A port of refuge ever more.

Lost and drowned

We'll wait 'till england's found

Again.

The boy:

I was torn between what was good and right

And those who told me when to fight

So they left me here and they sailed away

To sink or swim 'til judgement day.

The old man:

Your sacrifices will ensure

A port of refuge ever more.

Lost and drowned

We'll wait 'till england's found

Again.

The boy:

I was cast adrift.
