Empty Frame Lyrics - Brian Eno

So they rode the sea, 

It went on and on 

They were years away 

Though it seemed so long 

But the captain never told them what he knew 

As the poor ship laboured on through the endless blue. 

Oh the storm was strong 

And the ship was so frail 

But they stumbled on 

Raising broken sails, 

And they held the heavy sky on their open hands 

And they dreamed of when their poor feet would touch the land. 

Baby, we're going round in circles! 

Where is this place we're going to? 

Does anybody know we're out here on the waves? 

And are any of our signals coming through? 

We're going 'round in circles. 

We have no single point of view. 

And like the clouds that turn to every passing wind, 

We turn to any signal that comes through. 

At the edge of the sea 

Were the signs of the dove - 

But the wrong way out 

And the wrong way up. 

We pushed the empty frame of reason out the cabin door, 

No we won't be needing reason anymore. 

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
