ode to joshua slocum - rail yard ghosts lyrics
[verse 1]
there ain’t nothin’ in this land
worthy of my life’s demand
i set my sails leeward
it’s the horizon that i chase
forevermore without a place
except the open sea
the ocean will devour me
[bridge]
i’ve done all i can do
and i’ve said all i can say, i must go on
i’ll waste my days drifting lost upon the waves
to be swallowed by the sun
from the tide in which we’re born
to the eye of the storm, forever more
forever more
rest my bones upon the sean
ain’t no use to bury me upon the shore
[chorus 1]
i’ll sink down, into the dark
let the depths tear me apart
i’ll sink down into the depths
in the dark where i will rest
[verse 2]
think of the coast in which he bled
she laid me down the night i fled
i’ll never forget
heard that voice in the storm
luring me to follow that ghost
i sold my soul
[bridge]
ancient voices call upon the sands
of the time where i was born
born on the tide, born on the wind
these voices call me home again
down into (down into)
the depths of (the depths of me)
that endless dark of sea, that ancient history
i’ll sail away, i’ll sail away
to find a place, to find a place
that resting bed that is my holy grave
[chorus 1]
i’ll sink down, into the dark
let the depths tear me apart
i’ll sink down into the depths
in the dark where i will rest
[bridge]
i am a careful man at sea
near the isle of pico a storm did arise
i grew weak and i fell ill
an apparition took the wheel!
my boat sailed itself into the sky
with the gods i now reside
my boat sailed itself into the sky
with the gods i now arise
[chorus 2]
i’ll sink down, into the dark
let the depths tear me apart
i’ll sink down into the depths
in the dark where i will rest
i’ll sink down, into the dark
let the depths tear me apart
i’ll sink down to the abyss
this life i’ll never miss
[outro]
there ain’t nothin’ in this land
worthy of my life’s demand
so i set sail
