Testo The Ship That Washed Away - The Magic Lantern
Testo della canzone The Ship That Washed Away (The Magic Lantern), tratta dall'album A World in a Grain of Sand
The boat has left without me
And all I can do is wave back
At the faces of strangers I thought were my friends
And the love of my life upon deck
As the sun sets behind them, the scene becomes black
And I knew if I joined them I'd never have come back
Oh a young man with a little boy's heart
Begin at the ending, you'll never reach the start
Wash, wash away
The days bar by listless in still summer heat
A small town just marking out time
Till the radio crackles with news out at sea
The fair Lusitania has drowned
As the clocks all fall silent, the sun makes no sound
And I start to feel seasick here on solid ground
If I could start over again
I'd go with my love and I'd sink with my friends
Wash, wash away
Wash, wash away
These crazy forces unleashed in a blink
The salt water stinging my eyes
Blinding the world to the sadness contained
In the hull of that ship and my heart
The terror that followed they couldn't have known
And apart from the moon, well they died all alone
There was no band to play them goodnight
Just the sound of the waves in the morning light
And wash, wash away
Wash, wash away
Wash, wash away
Wash, wash away
Wash, wash away
Wash, wash away
Wash, wash away
Wash, wash away
