Lyrics

[00:24.800] An old man by a seashore
[00:26.900] At the end of day
[00:29.050] Gazes the horizon
[00:30.780] With seawinds in his face
[00:33.340] Tempest-tossed island
[00:35.430] Seasons all the same
[00:37.530] Anchorage unpainted
[00:39.400] And a ship without a name
[00:45.130] Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
[00:49.380] He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
[00:53.630] Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
[00:57.940] The ones on their travels homeward from afar
[01:04.690] This is for long-forgotten
[01:09.660] Light at the end of the world
[01:13.520] Horizon crying
[01:14.050] The tears he left behind long ago
[01:33.430] The albatross is flying
[01:35.370] Making him daydream
[01:37.710] The time before he became
[01:39.840] One of the world's unseen
[01:42.000] Princess in the tower
[01:44.120] Children in the fields
[01:46.270] Life gave him it all:
[01:47.870] An island of the universe
[01:53.840] Now his love's a memory
[01:55.870] A ghost in the fog
[01:58.060] He sets the sails one last time
[01:59.740] Saying farewell to the world
[02:02.400] Anchor to the water
[02:04.470] Seabed far below
[02:06.620] Grass still in his feet
[02:08.430] And a smile beneath his brow
[02:13.280] This is for long-forgotten
[02:18.470] Light at the end of the world
[02:22.560] Horizon crying
[02:26.970] The tears he left behind so long ago
[02:39.560] So long ago
[02:47.560] So long ago
[03:02.110] This is for long-forgotten
[03:06.050] Light at the end of the world
[03:10.420] Horizon crying
[03:14.950] The tears he left behind so long ago
