Album | The Tall Ships |
There’s an ocean, and as far as I can see | |
It must end eventually | |
This distance is discreet | |
Slowly water, it will wash right over me | |
When perfection is deceit | |
If this thing was meant to be, it will be | |
Chorus: | |
And when the tall ships come to carry me | |
I’ll be waiting patiently | |
And when the time has come for me to go | |
I will try to make you see | |
And when the tall ships come to take me home | |
It will be with dignity | |
And when the tall ships come… | |
I am sorry, all the things I meant to say | |
And words escape me every day | |
But the words are not to blame | |
So please listen, there’s a quiet melody | |
There’s a place that falls between | |
If this thing was meant to be, it will be | |
(Chorus) | |
There is the distance and if we took the time | |
Then we would not forgive a feeling | |
Always an ocean that I cannot define | |
And when you draw the line | |
Then we can start this healing, this healing | |
(Chorus) |
There' s an ocean, and as far as I can see | |
It must end eventually | |
This distance is discreet | |
Slowly water, it will wash right over me | |
When perfection is deceit | |
If this thing was meant to be, it will be | |
Chorus: | |
And when the tall ships come to carry me | |
I' ll be waiting patiently | |
And when the time has come for me to go | |
I will try to make you see | |
And when the tall ships come to take me home | |
It will be with dignity | |
And when the tall ships come | |
I am sorry, all the things I meant to say | |
And words escape me every day | |
But the words are not to blame | |
So please listen, there' s a quiet melody | |
There' s a place that falls between | |
If this thing was meant to be, it will be | |
Chorus | |
There is the distance and if we took the time | |
Then we would not forgive a feeling | |
Always an ocean that I cannot define | |
And when you draw the line | |
Then we can start this healing, this healing | |
