[00:10.77] The moon she rides the tattered storm
[00:16.01] On a ragged gypsy journey
[00:21.08] The snow lies on the mountain
[00:24.47] Like a cloak upon a king
[00:34.04] My dreams go tumbling with the dust
[00:40.29] Out across the valley
[00:44.26] Blow above the river
[00:48.48] Blow above the sea
[00:57.15] And life's a sparrow lost at sea
[01:02.57] In dark of night with far to go
[01:06.90] Dreams are ships that sailed away
[01:17.24] We are only cargo
[01:28.39] Only cargo
[01:40.12] Now the sea has always sung to me
[01:45.42] But I have never never headed
[01:50.50] I am born a farmer raised the same
[01:54.86] Married to the land
[02:03.67] But sometimes I will lie at night
[02:09.10] While she is softly sleeping
[02:14.25] An' far away I hear the song
[02:18.63] The sea sings to the sand
[02:27.73] For life's a sparrow lost at sea
[02:33.01] In dark of night with far to go
[02:37.23] Dreams are ships that sailed away
[02:47.74] We are only cargo
[02:53.38] Only cargo
[02:58.67] Only cargo
[03:04.98] Adam's prize was open eyes
[03:10.67] His sentence was to see
[03:16.01] So day by day he's worn awake
[03:20.47] Against reality
[03:26.56] So gypsies dream of being king
[03:31.91] Kings of being free
[03:37.30] A sailor longs to till the land
[03:42.91] The farmer sets to sea
[04:11.47] And the sea will love the land all night
[04:16.66] Like a woman loves her lover
[04:21.81] The wind will race along the beach
[04:26.04] And make the sea cliffs ring
[04:34.77] And I will start to wake and dream again
[04:40.15] The dream I dreamed forever
[04:45.58] The ships I'll never sail
[04:49.65] The songs I'll never sing
[04:58.52] Sweet life's a sparrow lost at sea
[05:04.08] In dark of night with far to go
[05:08.34] Dreams are ships that sailed away
[05:19.09] The dreamer's only cargo
[05:24.63] Only cargo
[05:29.82] Only cargo
