lyrics

We built our ship with flesh and bone
We hung our flag and filled the hold
We toasted to the best of friends
And set out through the westward winds
Our sails flew high above the blue
We rightfully cast our luck into
A veil of vibrant summer’s breeze
We were the masters of the seas
 
There you are, and here I am
Won’t you take my word for all it’s worth
We’ll see dry land again
Set your sights through the westward winds
 
Many years we spent our days
Sailing smooth blue brazen waves, but
All good fortune woefully fades
We blindly cast our luck away
Those cold still nights foresaw no sun
With no more corn and no more rum
The seas were calm, with no more wind, but
We will see dry land again
 
Here I am, and there you are
On the other side of the wreckage
There’s a place for us to start
There you are, and here I am
Won’t you take my word for all it’s worth
We’ll see dry land again
Set your sights through the westward winds
 
Half asleep and half awake
Our vessel clashes atop the waves
As I make my way down to you
White water breaks out of the blue
The sky burns bright, the thunder pounds
As lightning strikes our main sail down
When the bow breaks, her cradle is the wind
Until we see dry land again

Now hold your breath, and don’t look back
This ship’s goin’ down into the black
Now hold your head above the waves
We may have cast our luck away, but
Set your sights on the east horizon
Storm will perish, sun will rise
Many miles we’ll slowly drift, but
We will see dry land again

Here I am, and there you are
On the other side of the wreckage
There’s a place for us to start
There you are, and here I am
Won’t you take my word for all it’s worth
We’ll see dry land again
Set your sights through the westward winds
