Ride, the midnight sail
Leaving from the quayside in the rain
Ride, the midnight sail
Just once around your life and home again
You've weighed all of your baggage
and you've got your ticket, dear
There's plenty of room for memories and everybody's here
Faces from the circus, pipe dreams stowed away
And we're heading out from Karma Town across the Newborn Bay
Ride, the midnight sail
Leaving from the quayside in the rain
Ride, the midnight sail
Just once around your life and home again
You think all you've forgotten
Has somehow gone away
But it's time to put things overboard
They're not needed here today
Floating with the jetsam
As the weightless shoulders fly
Behind the screen we're washing clean
To get you home ‘n dry
Ride, the midnight sail
Leaving from the quayside in the rain
Ride, the midnight sail
Just once around your life and home again
(x4)
I'm going home on the midnight sail (x3)
Take me home on the midnight sail, on the midnight sail
