The boats have sailed away
I stand here on the shore
Can't see them anymore
Can't see them anymore

Waving from afar
To the land called home
Can you come back soon?
We wish we could
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools

And now I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
Born in sea and sky
I was born in sea and sky

Cast afloat the sea
Is the ship of fools
And cast afloat the sea
Is the ship of fools

Heaven's know why
They went away
They're all aboard
Except for me
Can you come back soon?

We wish we could
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools
On this ship of fools
On this ship of fools

And now I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
And born in sea and sky
I was born in sea and sky

In this ship of fools
In this ship of fools
Cast afloat the sea
Is this ship of fools

We think we've gone too far...
