Building Ships
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.
We could almost see the distant shore
When my little sweetheart jumped overboard
i threw a line blind into the sea
but she was free
to drift on
the sea is calm
the night after the strom
but i know the empty rain awaits at every turn
i fear i had a love
and now it's gone
to find new shelter
now i'm building ships
to carry me home
back to where i sailded from
back to the place i hurt
the rhythm of the rocking is unknown
it takes awhile to et used to the motion
i'm moving slowly but i'm full of anger
that there's no one to blame
it's a cruel game
now i'm building ships
to carry me home
back to where i sailded from
back to the place i hurt
i fear i had a love
and now it's gone
to find new shelter
