Lyrics
The Shipbuilders
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.
Servants to the wind and the sea
Builders of great sea monsters
Yet they've never sailed away
To see where the dark clouds go
Yet off in the horizon
Where the sunset meets the shore
That’s where their souls are longing to go
In hopes of so much more
Their faith now long forgotten
In the toil of this harsh land
Their dreams lay lost and buried
Under the rocks and sand
(Their fathers, their fathеrs, their fathers)
The cool breezе mocks the men below
Singing of places they'll never know
A harsh wind carries away their tears
As the salty air wears away the years
Yet off into the horizon
Where the sunset meets the shore
That's where their souls are longing to go
In hopes of so much more
Their faith now long forgotten
In the toil of this harsh land
Their dreams lay lost and buried
Under the rocks and sand
Yet off into the horizon
Where the sunset meets the shore
That’s where their souls are longing to go
In hopes of so much more (so much more)
Their faith now long forgotten
In the toil of this harsh land
Their dreams lay lost and buried
Under the rocks and sand
