Terra Nova Lyrics - Jt - James Taylor

Oh end this day show me the ocean 

When shall I see the sea 

May this day set me in emotion 

I ought to be on my way 

We were there 

We were sailing on the terra nova 

Sailing for the setting sun 

Sailing for the new horizon 

May this day show me an ocean 

I ought to be on my way 

Ought to be on my way right now 

Stepping on the boat 

With a lump in my throat 

On my way right now 

I got a letter from a dear friend of mine 

The story of a spiritual awakening 

She spoke of her love 

Returning in kind 

She let me know that 

She'd be waiting 

And I should be on my way by now 

Walking across the floor 

Reaching for the door 

On my way by now 

But here I sit country fool that I am 

My elbow on my knee 

And my chin in my hand 

My mind in the gutter 

And my eye on the street 

Holed up in a cave of concrete 

And I ought to be on my way right now 

Packing my things 

While the telephone rings 

On my way right now 

I miss my lovely mother 

And I love my lonely father 

I know I owe my brothers 

One thing and another 

I hear my sister singing 

And I ought to be on my way right now 

Moving across the land 

With my heart in my hand 

On my way by now 

Ought to be on my way by now 

Oh end this day set me in motion 

Ought to be on my way 

Out of the west of lambert's cove 

There's a sail out in the sun 

And I'm on board though very small 

I've come home to stop yearning 

Burn off the haze around the shore 

Turn off the crazy way I feel 

I'll stay away from you no more 

I've come home to stop yearning
