Shore Leave

The ocean sky's ridin' wide on a murmurin' of birds
Anodyne and carried high in language long interred

We're all on the same line, just a bit off on the beat
They're all back on shore time,and I'm still out at sea
See

The albatross fly out across the halcyon at bay
The trade-winds blow where nothin' goes
But the haunted cries of lyres, oh

We're all on the same song, just a bit off on the key
Half of them have sailed on, half are here with me

Travel on, in the wake of ages
In the shadow-sands of the shore at dawn
Travel on, in a faith unshaken
By the perfect storms of an ocean's song

A prisoner of that shade where the water meet the dunes
And here this evening, a captive of its obscure blues
Like their mother up here, moored, dreamin' of her sleeping bears
Part of me's on shore leave, part of me's out there

Travel on in the wake of us
Travel on in the place of us
Travel on in the wake of...
Travel on in the place of
Us
