A New Shore
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.
As captain of this band of merry sailors
I'm a black mark I'm a failure
So 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
Off 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
Oooo, the shore remains and so do I
I swear this time will be different
I settled here on a 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?
Ooo-oooooh ooo-aaahhh
Land Ho! (Laa-and Ho!)
Land Ho! Land Ho!
Land Ho! Laa-and Ho!
Land Ho! Land Ho!
