The Tall Ships

There's an ocean, and as far as I can see

It must end eventually

This distance is discreet

Slowly water, it will wash right over me

When perfection is deceit

If this thing was meant to be, it will be

And when the tall ships come to carry me

I'll be waiting patiently

And when the time has come for me to go

I will try to make you see

And when the tall ships come to take me home

It will be with dignity

And when the tall ships come

I am sorry, all the things I meant to say

And words escape me every day

But the words are not to blame

So please listen, there's a quiet melody

There's a place that falls between

If this thing was meant to be, it will be

There is the distance and if we took the time

Then we would not forgive a feeling

Always an ocean that I cannot define

And when you draw the line

Then we can start this healing, this healing
