Better keep your distance from this whale |
|
Better keep your boat from going astray |
|
Find yourself a partner and treat them well |
|
Try to give them shelter night and day |
|
'cause here in this blue light |
|
Far away from the fireside |
|
Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded |
|
You can't even feel right |
|
So you dream of columbus |
|
Ever time the panic starts |
|
You dream of columbus |
|
With your maps and your beautiful charts |
|
You dream of columbus |
|
With an ache in your travelling heart |
|
See how the cormorant swoops and dives |
|
Must be some thrill to go that deep |
|
Down to the basement of this life |
|
Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps |
|
Not like here in this blue light |
|
Far away from the fireside |
|
Where things can get twisted and haunted and crowded |
|
You can't even feel alright |
|
Chorus |
|
And as tide must ebb and flow |
|
I am dragged down under |
|
And i wait the livelong day |
|
For an end to my hunger |
|
So i dream of columbus |
|
Every time that the panic starts |
|
I dream of columbus |
|
With my maps and my beautiful charts |
|
I dream of columbus |
|
And there's peace in a traveling heart |
|
I dream of columbus |
