Steven Page - A New Shore lyrics

As captain of this band of merry sailors I'm a black mark I'm a failure So before you watch me drown I'm relinquishing command for something I don't understand, this man's about to turn his whole life upside down I set a course for a new shore It looked the same as the one before And I forgot what I'd been sailing for And why I thought this time would be different I do most of this by feel and let go of the wheel the constellations Do the navigation on their own. Whilst yearning for adventure, dreading censure in absentia I would rather be at sea than be alone I set a course for a new shore It looked the same as the one before And I forgot what I'd been sailing for And why I thought this time would be different Off the charts we drew They said there wasn't anything but fairy tales I told them it was you, I told them you were everything a fairy tale could be The boat sails by Oooo-The shore remains and so do I I swear this time will be different I settled here on a new shore My lips were blue and my legs were sore And I forget if I was pushed or I jumped overboard And after all this time, what's the difference? Oooo-ooooooh Oooo-aaaahhh Land Ho! (Laa-and Ho!) Land Ho! Land Ho! Land Ho! Laa-and Ho! Land Ho! Land Ho!
