Maiden Voyage |
|
By The Clockwork Dolls |
|
High above the weary world |
|
I wait and watch and think of you. |
|
I never thought that life would find me |
|
Laughing with the pale moon. |
|
The patchwork of the land below me |
|
Endless ribbons in the night. |
|
I'll ne'er again be who I was: |
|
A child before my soul took flight. |
|
I stop to think of all I've lost; |
|
The list begins and ends with you. |
|
Don't be afraid of who I am, |
|
This strength is what I've come into. |
|
Fly with me, |
|
Forget the past. |
|
We can build the future |
|
In steel and brass. |
|
Those below |
|
We leave behind. |
|
You really thought I'd be content |
|
A housewife in a gilded cage? |
|
The sea, the sky, it's all the same; |
|
Adventure being what I crave. |
|
I'll never stop, I won't come down! |
|
My passion's here in whirring gears. |
|
This triumph of my female soul |
|
I will not spoil with useless tears. |
|
The deck vibrates beneath my shoes: |
|
The rhythm of my beating heart. |
|
I will not mourn what might have been, |
|
Our story's done before it starts. |
|
Fly with me, |
|
Forget the past. |
|
We can build the future |
|
In steel and brass. |
|
Those below |
|
We leave behind, |
|
Conquering the clouds |
|
As gears unwind. |
