lyrics

I imagined the town up ahead, dreamed we were going somewhere.
I started doing the math, started counting in pairs.

But your route had no reason nor rhyme.
You were just along for the ride.
I was nothing but a detour on the side.
Your heart, well it sure wasn’t mine,
it’d been broken before you were just killing time.

Eyes forward, both hands on ship’s wheel,
towards the horizon pushing wood, pushing steel.
Round the mast I heard jigs, I heard reels.
I was praying for smooth sailing on even keel.
But we faced headwinds the likes I’d never seen.
Poseidon’s wrath, well it roiled the seas.
Moby Dick he came looking for me.

You jumped ship, didn’t have to think twice
as I sank to the bottom to pay Davy Jones’ price.
Your heart, well it sure wasn’t mine,
it’d been broken before you were just killing time.

But we faced headwinds the likes I’d never seen.
Poseidon’s wrath well it roiled the seas.
Moby Dick he came looking for me. [And he found me.]
