One summer day I walk to the harbor
I'll drift away to the unknown
Let my ship sail to the years
To the years I'll take my life
Let my ship sail for eternity
June 16 2003
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 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 right on from here
All the time to the end
And what it brings, no one should know
Through thunderstorms and a deadly undertow
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
