sail ho heave ho come on let go
your time on earth is over
I watch you sleeping on the bed
I`m talking to your soul
did you ever think it`d be like this?
did you ever think you`d laugh so much?
did you ever think you`d have to try so hard?
oh...
I`m watching my sweet mama
from my vigil on this chair
I close my eyes I feel a change...
is this my lover here?
did you ever think it`d be like this?
did you ever think you`d walk away?
you and me running through
the back streets of the world
like a pack of hounds of two
wanting more and more love
and how much is too much?
did you ever think we`d love so hard?
fighting hard and hurting worse
oh...you`re sailing away...
go away. just ignore them.
next time I open my eyes..
is this my father here?
I know it`s you because
I recognize the smiling little boy
on the sunny front porch
holding his mama`s hand
remember when your mama said
we all need love?
well... we ALL need love...
did you ever think you`d refuse love after all?
did you ever think you`d give love
and then take it away?
and leave the lives around you
in such shame and disarray and pain
it`s all right
put your arms around my neck
hold me tight as we drift out now
while I have the strength of ten men
hold me close as we drift out into the darkness
pigeons rushing up past our heads
people in doorways
I think this is Europe somewhere
you`re so thin you`re so light
don`t let go hold me
...are these yours? or mine?
there is nothing I`d rather have
than for you to put your hand upon my forehead
just keep it there DON`T TAKE IT AWAY
and tell me that even though you may not like
all the things I do but say that you love my soul
and remember me.
remember me?
hold me close put your arms around my neck
as we drift out I`ve finished it
into the darkness you`re so thin
it`s only a movie...
run Bambi run it`s only a movie
and when I came up to the tree...
run Bambi run
brothers and sisters...FIRE!...
I`m there and there`s a body
lying at the foot of it
hold me close we`re moving out
across the water now
and you`re lying on this beach. sleeping
and a tyger`s watching you
from the edge of the jungle
and the sun through the leaves...
and his stripes...and it`s...
and you`re sleeping
and I`m watching and he`s watching
and... you`re so...beautiful...
sail ho heave ho come on let go
your time on earth is over
you have done well it`s time to rest
I`m talking to your soul
did you ever think it`d be like this?
do you ever think we`ll meet again?
how will I ever know it`s you?
maybe will it be the love that I`ll feel
when I look into a stranger`s eyes
when I look into a stranger`s eyes...
oh...you`re sailing away
I keep my vigil on this chair
is this my lover here?
is this my brother here?
is this my baby?
is this me lying here?
