Wuthering Heights - Lost at Sea lyrics

Another dawn out here Or so I reckon it must be A slightly paler shade of grey around If not inside of me I stand firm here now At this ship's prow But I'm a proud captain no more I rule this crew with a heavy hand But they are but ghosts And I feel only the biting rain On my face at most There are great powers here But I can't wield them I am no god, can't bend the elements to my will Though I've prayed to the lords of wind and rain All around me remains Still We are given this board game and a few of the pieces But most are missing Then the Lady Fortuna robs you of judgment and breath As soon as you're kissing With the scarcest of provisions Upon the icy waves we're cast So far from home No birds shall land on these masts Drifting, ever drifting The ever calmer waters terrifying me Shifting, pray winds be shifting Carry me away to anywhere but here Drifting, ever drifting The ever calmer waters terrifying me Shifting, pray winds be shifting Life is a beautiful ship But I am lost at sea I left the homely fire to wrestle the sea But if they reckon me dead, am I still me? I cannot turn back, yet see no lands ahead Bound to sleep on the ocean's bed There is no straight road, no enchanted isles The world is bent, and so am I No one can bridge what time and oceans sever Those realms are lost, should I sail forever Drifting, ever drifting The ever calmer waters terrifying me Shifting, pray winds be shifting Carry me away to anywhere but here Drifting, ever drifting The ever calmer waters terrifying me Shifting, pray winds be shifting Life is a beautiful ship But I am lost at sea Sometimes I believe I hear a lonely piper playing Somewhere, out there in the mist But the notes melt away Like snowflakes in my hand There is no harbour There is no fiddle band Sometimes I believe I see faint lights twinkling Somewhere, out there in the mist But they are not lanterns To help lonely sailors find Their way, I know, they are but Flickers in my mind Maybe I am gone already I feel I should go, I would go Draped only with an almost faded glow A cape sprayed with a few sands of glory I could leave them, I would leave them They are nothing, 'tis all folly My spirit is ready to go into the soothing darkness Touching the stars Perchance to dream With luck to escape into the night But still this rope that binds me To the living lands won't be untied It is worn thin as a single strand of hair Yet it holds like a wire of steel Another dawn out here Or so I reckon it must be A slightly paler shade of grey around If not inside of me Visibility still naught Surface is calm but mirrors nothing New clouds keep coming in Though my sails won't unfurl If clouds indeed they be Or smoke from the scorching of the world Water's dark below me Dark as my heart and as cold Do not feel alive Only feel I'm growing old Drifting, ever drifting The ever calmer waters terrifying me Shifting, pray winds be shifting Carry me away to anywhere but here Drifting, ever drifting The ever calmer waters terrifying me Shifting, pray winds be shifting Life is a beautiful, mystical, magical ship But I am lost at sea I left a homely fire, but forgot the road back I laid roses on a grave, but forgot both name and tears The anchor will reach no bottom The wind won't fill the sails All is now dark All is now dark All is now dark I am lost at sea
