Taking On Water

[Verse 1] On a sailboat I am Slowly floating nowhere Lost the memories of where I am and why [Verse 2] Black ocean churning A million stars are burning Planetariums were right about the sky [Chorus] Once upon a day I set off on a journey Wishing on the wind to take me far from home Now I’m on the waves and I’m taking on water Hard to see I won’t always be alone [Verse 3] There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me But it dipped behind my back and settled down It used to square up with the land used to size it in my hand But it fell behind the line that meets the sky [Chorus] Once upon a day I set off on a journey Wishing on the wind to take me far from home Now I’m on the waves and I’m taking on water Hard to see I won’t always be alone [Bridge] Inside this storm Whipping in the wind my sail is torn In other words the ends I mend are not my own ooooooh ooooooh Oooohs                      Hard to see I won’t always be alone [Verse 4] On a sailboat I am Slowly floating nowhere Hoping someday I’ll wash upon someone else’s shore
