Like the wind that carried Ahab
To a far, more distant shore
To a shipwreck that was certain
Long before

I can see there's no use sailing
Among ships I've known before
It will only bring me more
And more and more

Lonely sailing nights
More
Racing, dimming lights
Lonely nights, and all too
Familiar sights

Just as water seeks it's level
So I only seek to live
Hoping somehow I can find
A way to give

And the sea, it softly beckons
"Come and go where you've not been"
With the dawning of a new day
I'm gone, again

Lonely sailing nights, gone
Gone, racing, dimming lights
Lonely nights
And all too
Familiar sights
