meek men - i see the horizon lyrics
[verse 1]
been the sole captain of this ferry, in hingham bay
crossing baywater to st. mary for some forty-seven ticking years
with my dreams mocking old salty in his bowl
i am turning my helm firmly
breaking hard and hearing nothing but ocean call
[chorus]
i see the horizon
i see the horizon, wide and away
i see the horizon
and i’m aiming for anything but sh-r-
[verse 2]
ain’t no time for no improvising, the radio bawls
good ol’ foreman is symbolizing what´s been scripted in my embryo
i’ve been playing it by the book now, being smart
signing off by the gully island
now i´m playing it by ear and playing it by heart
[chorus]
i see the horizon
i see the horizon, coming my way
i see the horizon
and i’m aiming for anything but sh-r-
[verse 3]
where can i keep the unsaid and undone
the bowing down, the waiting for nothing
where can i keep all those times and the ways
of people i love, and keep them resounding
[verse 4]
i don´t mind being the submitter, from time to time
but my water is turning bitter and i know the cure is in my mind
the old ferry is more than rusty and short of fuel
and the wind may be kind of gusty
but the captain is the captain of his own soul
[chorus]
i see the horizon
i see the horizon, coming my way
i see the horizon
and i’m aiming for anything but sh-r-
[chorus]
i see the horizon, coming my way
i see the horizon, coming my way
i see the horizon
and i’m aiming for anything but sh-r-
