Lyrics

[01:02.360] An old man by a seashore
[01:04.310] At the end of day
[01:07.430] Gazes the horizon
[01:08.180] With seawinds in his face
[01:11.680] Tempest-tossed island
[01:13.630] Seasons all the same
[01:15.980] Anchorage unpainted
[01:17.540] And a ship without a name
[01:22.370] Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
[01:27.610] He lightens the beacon' light at the end of world
[01:31.870] Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
[01:35.120] The ones on their travels homeward from afar
[01:41.930] This is for long-forgotten
[01:47.260] Light at the end of the world
[01:51.330] Horizon crying
[01:55.630] The tears he left behind long ago
[02:17.000] The albatross is flying
[02:19.810] Making him daydream
[02:21.370] The time before he became
[02:24.800] One of the world's unseen
[02:26.610] Princess in the tower
[02:28.350] Children in the fields
[02:30.620] Life gave him it all:
[02:32.440] An island of the universe
[02:38.270] Now his love's a memory
[02:40.270] A ghost in the fog
[02:42.500] He sets the sails one last time
[02:44.190] Saying farewell to the world
[02:46.880] Anchor to the water
[02:48.930] Seabed far below
[02:50.860] Grass still in his feet
[02:52.180] And a smile beneath his brow
[02:56.870] This is for long-forgotten
[03:02.110] Light at the end of the world
[03:06.440] Horizon crying
[03:10.780] The tears he left behind so long ago
[03:58.880] This is for long-forgotten
[04:04.300] Light at the end of the world
[04:08.160] Horizon crying
[04:13.690] The tears he left behind so long ago
