Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the key. No one waving for 
/                                                      
me just the shoreline receding. Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I 
                   
didn't hand it in. Cause who said sailing is fine? leaving behind all the 
                   /                                
faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep 
                   
inside but I don`t want to look so deep inside yet. 

                             /                       
Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye, there might not be another star,
                                                    / 
farther on the line. Look out, look out at each town that glides by, and
                                              
there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes. And see how that light you
                    /                             
love now just won`t shine, there might just be another star, that`s high
                               
and far in some other sky. 


We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set and 
/                                                         
decide what a dance might mean to it. Ruining the place where the ensuing
                   
may lay escape. We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags from 
                               / 
the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags black and battered 
                               
rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign, war. 

                                                  /
And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him but we find that the maps he 
                                     
sent to us don't mention lost coastlines. Where nothing we've actually seen
                   /                
has been mapped or outlined and we don't recognize the names upon strange

signs. 

                                                   /
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, well
                                                     
we have lost our way, nobody`s gonna say it outright. Just go la la la la la la la la la...  

etc...
