the reason we set out to sail
The shore will come into sight
An almost holy sort of grail
But who really remembers who he was
in that lifetime lifetimes ago
And the pretty picture on the postcard
has long gone up in smoke
Won't you speak up, dear darling
I want to drink up your every thought
and remember each word you say
will it replace each one I forgot?
Ah, but Apologies and Bitterness
have no place here at sea
Every beautiful thing is flitting by
I know it can't be just me
So hold my hand, my friend
As we go down with this sinking ship
The world is coming to an end
And we're at the end of our last maiden trip.
