The Sailor

Sunlight fades I'm in the dark, on a dock in the harbor where I was raised I was sent away from this house 'til this town on the water saw better days I'm washed up and tired and not entirely sure that I am not a liar For convincing myself that this life I lived, it wasn't hell When I find my very own piece of mind, it'll be out there on the waves And I've tried living out these lies, but it's too damn late for soul to be saved A crooked smile at the thought of getting lost in the whitecaps for a while I'll take a dive and if I crawl along the floor with a ragged claw There resides a beautiful pearl More beautiful than anything I've seen in this world But even this, it could not replace the time I missed When I find my very own piece of mind, it'll be out there on the waves And I've tried living out these lies, but it's too damn late for soul to be saved When I find my very own piece of mind, it'll be out there on the waves And I've tried living out these lies, but it's too damn late for soul to be saved
