A New Shore Lyrics - Page One - Steven Page

As captain of this band of merry sailors, I'm a black mark 

I'm a failure, but before you watch me drown 

I'm relinquishing command for something I don't understand 

This man's about to turn his whole life upside down 

I set a course for a new shore 

It looked the same as the one before 

And I forgot what I'd been sailing for 

And why I thought this time would be different 

I do most of this by feel and let go of the wheel 

The constellations do the navigation on their own 

Whilst yearning for adventure dreading censure in absentia 

I would rather be at sea than be alone 

I set a course for a new shore 

It looked the same as the one before 

And I forgot what I'd been sailing for 

And why I thought this time would be different 

Of the charts we drew, they said 

There wasn't anything but fairy tales 

I told them it was you, I told them 

You were everything a fairy tale could be 

The boat sails by 

The shore remains and so do I 

I swear this time will be different 

I settled here on the new shore 

My lips were blue and my legs were sore 

And I forget if I was pushed or I jumped overboard 

And after all this time, what's the difference? 

Land, ho! 

Land, ho! 

(Land, ho!) 

Land, ho! 

(Land, ho!) 

Land, ho! 

(Land, ho!) 

Land, ho! 

(Land, ho!) 

(Land, ho!) 

Land, ho! 

(Land, ho!) 

(Land, ho!) 

Land, ho! 

(Land, ho!) 

(Land, ho!) 

Land, ho! 

(Land, ho!) 

(Land, ho!)
