[00:07.96]	Packed and all eyes turned in,
[00:09.59]	no one to see on the key.
[00:12.41]	No one waving for me just the shoreline receding.
[00:17.22]	Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in.
[00:23.33]	Cause who said sailing is fine?
[00:28.17]	leaving behind all the faces that
[00:32.69]	I might replace if I tried on that long ride,
[00:37.31]	looking deep inside but
[00:39.16]	I don’t want to look so deep inside yet.
[00:42.35]
[00:42.56]	Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye,
[00:49.52]	there might not be another star,
[00:54.33]	farther on the line. Look out,
[01:00.14]	look out at each town that glides by,
[01:07.63]	and there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes.
[01:17.35]	And see how that light you love now just won’t shine,
[01:25.05]	there might just be another star,
[01:28.41]	that’s high and far in some other sky.
[01:34.68]
[01:34.77]	We sing, is that marionette real enough
[01:40.07]	yet to step off of that set and decide
[01:43.39]	what a dance might mean to it.
[01:49.39]	Ruining the place where the ensuing may lay escape.
[01:52.69]	We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags
[01:58.73]	from the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath
[02:02.59]	flags black and battered rattling our swords in service of some fated,
[02:09.29]	foreign, war.
[02:10.57]
[02:10.76]	And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him
[02:14.50]	but we find
[02:18.25]	that the maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines.
[02:27.94]	Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or
[02:35.91]	outlined and we don't recognize the names upon strange signs.
[02:44.07]
[02:44.91]	And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide,
[02:53.07]	well we have lost our way,
[02:56.31]	nobody’s gonna say it outright.
[03:01.82]	Just go la la la la la la la la la…..
