    Lost at sea..


    Verse 1:

    The waves are rough,
    the sky is dark,
    I've had enough,
    what should I do?
    I don't know where to go,
    and I don't know where to start.
    There's something in my heart,
    and its tearing me apart.


    Chorus:

    Home is too far away,
    never to be seen again,
    I guess it'll stay this way,
    same as every other day,
    I've been sailing here alone,
    stuck in the undertow,
    everyday is just the same,
    just non sense inside my brain,


    Verse 2:

    To me front is back,
    port is starboard,
    my perception's jack,
    I don't know which way is,
    I don't know the way,
    im going back and forth,
    my visions getting poor,
    where are you lord?


    Chorus:

    Home is too far away,
    never to be seen again,
    I guess it'll stay this way,
    same as every other day,
    I've been sailing here alone,
    stuck in the undertow,
    everyday is just the same,
    just non sense inside my brain,


    Bridge/Ending:
    Home is not too far away,
    I have too see the light of day,
    I shut my mouth and shut my eyes,
    it's time for me to sail on by...

    I really like the line port is starboard that's very creative better than saying left is right. The Bridge/ending is great as well because it connects back to the sailing theme so to me its a perfect ending that leaves a breath of hope. Inner struggle vs the outside world seems to "sail" rampant throughout this song the want for something so far away gives you the encouragement to eventually seek it out. Its just like the waves of the body of water you are metaphorically sailing on they move up and down much like our lives and we feel as if we are going nowhere while in reality our destination lies beyond the rough waves too far away for us to see.
    There is not enough space or time to truly let the song unwind

    Dude.....what can I say!This reminds me of "Salty Dog" by Procol Harum!For those reading this,I high recommend you youtubing it or looking it up on Wikipedia to understand the comparison.Each verse,the more the narrator is losing touch with reality!Well done,your a force to be reckon with!P.S. I may be wrong with my interpretation of this,but it works for me!

    Another gem all the way! Musically, I'm thinking in the direction of Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet": a slow shuffle that mimmics the rocking motion of the waves. In the last part a mighty Hammond organ lets the sunshine in.
