Lyrics |
now and again you’ll remember the sound of the sails waving helpless the cables wrapping one another into knots so strong you’re lost at once if not tossed into the drink and lost beneath a substance so dark yet elementary
four winds converge upon a point where your compass spirals round in useless motions mocking everything while bilge collects your cupped hands attempt to shovel out the last few inches and you plead with the gods but they send you no sign
hold on sailor, hold on brother, steady the vessel hold on sailor, steady the vessel steady the vessel
tall tales of ghosts at sail they spend the afterlife in futile calculation, dead reckoning telltales confuse the sails, direction is lost the winds will spiral round a listless tapestry and you’re left all alone under the shine of the moon
hold on sailor, tighten the cables steady the vessel it’s a good life if you don’t weaken it’s a good life if you don’t weaken
(hold on, hold on)
