lyrics

Sun beating down
No breath of wind
Drooping sails and a deck like burnished bronze
Not a bird in the sky
No waves upon the sea
Just the creaking of the timbers
The lazy rattle of dice

Praying for the gentlest breeze
A touch across my face
The ringing of the captain’s bell
Or the rolling of the deck
There’s nothing left that can be done
Save rail against the empty skies
The fate of this voyage is not in our hands
We wait and wait and wait

Smooth horizon breached
By whale's blow
Our quarry is safe
Out the range of the boats
40 barrels of oil
just out of reach
Maybe we'll see you again
Farewell for now my friend

Praying for the gentlest breeze
A touch across my face
The ringing of the captain’s bell
Or the rolling of the deck
There’s nothing left that can be done
Save rail against the empty skies
The fate of this voyage is not in our hands
We wait and wait and wait
