Generate meaning
1
Time wasted waiting and time contemplating my life
2
I've been thinkin' and drinkin'
3
But it feels like I'm sinkin' tonight
4
Sing alleluia, but don't let 'em fool ya, it's just temptation
5
I act as if it doesn't matter, while I step out of time
6
To the clatter of generations
7
Like a sailor, I'm driftin'
8
Into the hungry mouth of the storm
9
Like an orphan I'm searching for a place that's safe and warm
10
Like a scavenger I'll find the pieces
11
Of our lives which have been torn
12
Like a sailor I'll surrender unto the sea
13
Like a fire I'll be reborn
14
Blue tide tumbles upon itself
15
The night would never mistake me for someone else
16
For it knows
17
Blue desert rumbles my formless track
18
"I'll be dead before I ever come back" she told me
19
Driftin' so endlessly, movin' so friendlessly
20
Under the candlelit moon
21
If there's a chance for contact send some word
22
To the dark haired girl on Pine and Third
23
That I'll be comin' soon
24
Like a sailor in the dark hand of mystery
25
I'll search the sea and it's soul
26
Like a knight I'll guard your frozen gates
27
With a heart that burns like coal
28
Like a vagrant I stand bewildered for I know not which way to got
29
Like a sailor I'll surrender unto the sea
30
Like a fire I'll lose control
31
Marking the days, marking the years
32
I exit in dreams, dreams and fears of longing
33
Drifting into this mystical fog
34
I looked and swore I thought I saw the dawning
35
Like a sailor, I'm driftin'
36
Into the hungry mouth of the storm
37
Like an orphan I'm searching for a place that's safe and warm
38
Like a scavenger I'll find the pieces
39
Of our lives which have been torn
40
Like a sailor I'll surrender unto the sea
41
Like a fire I'll be reborn
