#021 -- ABANDON SHIP INSIDIOUS FRUSTRATION #021
ABANDON SHIP

One summer day I walk to the harbor
And within my mind is a slow decay
There it stands, a sturdy hull
In my own town I'll take the sails

I'll drift away to the unknown
I'll fade away to where no one goes
Through the gulf and straits
Through the mist and wind
And with no land, a relaxing end

Let my ship sail to the years
Let my ship sail right on from here

To the years I'll take my life
All the time to the end
And what it brings, no one should know
Through thunderstorms and a deadly undertow

Let my ship sail for eternity
Let my ship sail right on from here
Let my ship sail and go on and on
And I said to the storms, come and bring it on
And I'll float to the end
Float to the end
