Sail

I've seen oceans vast, from atop the mast

And crawled up from the floor

And maybe a glass or two have passed

From my lips to your cabin door

I've come up fast to catch my breath

And wished I'd stayed ashore

And maybe Sunday mass has passed

But what did we need forgiveness for

So we raise anchor, set sail

Set a course for right now

So we set a standard for raising hell

But we survived the storm somehow

Now stranded, seems we've struck sand

And we've landed unplanned

On this island, defiant, 'til the bitterest end

We could stay here awhile

Drink straight from the bottle

And no one would know any different

Two lazy-eyed lovers, gazing at each other

With one eye apiece on sep'rate horizons

'Til we raise two anchors, set sail

Set a course for black veils

Name this the island where lovers fell

And with a tear in our eyes

And the wind at our backs

We'll begrudgingly pay our respects

To the island where opposing horizons prevailed.
