Sea of Man

The Sea of Man is stormy today
And as deep as all the dreams
Lost in a merging scene where we learn to be
As we think we all have so much time

I am the young boy of the sea
Once an orphan netted in the swell
I am the old man in a boat
Veering southerly, with a gale to tell
Once the orphan netted in the swell
Waiting to settle and be sure, we'll wait for evermore
All we are is in the unfathomable

I am the captain who stayed away
And drank his fill of saline ale
And then he brought back a bottle to shore
That fed his delusion all the more

Return to the place that frequents my thoughts
Return the bodies to the ocean floor
The future is only the past seen
In reflections of this moonlit dream

The life after is there within
The life after is the next big thing
The life after is there within
The life after is the next big thing

This sea was once a lake of freshwater
This sea was once my whole life
North by west slowly falling
North by west
Falling, slowly
