lyrics

O, Tiny Sailor,
Born triumphant
Where is the noise to
Reveal you?
Since we've been dreaming
Of your passage
Write me a wave I'll
Smile for you.

When you take things over
Bright as light can be.
A red lamp in a green field
The moods that come to me.
Even as the old ways are
Sacrificed they all
Stay with me forever
Like fungus on a toe.

(Captain, my captain...what do you see?)
Look out over the horizon.
Look. Beyond it's eyes and into the sun.
Stare at the space between sea and sky
And into the eyes
Of God.

Daylight
Breaks so slowly.
I am gone and I am on my way.
Searching
For adventure
Out here on these super groovy waves.

When I was a boy
I saw my name
Chalk dust white breathin' turpentine.
Something lost in the coming waves
Raise your sails past the given time.
When it's gone it's gone and
When it's gone you're gone.
Two months later knee-deep in the brine.
When it's gone it's gone and
When it's gone you're gone.
Shave my hair into a thinner line.

O, Tiny Sailor,
Born triumphant
I've got the noise to
Reveal you!
Since we've been dreaming
Of your passage
Write me a wave I'll
Smile for you.
