On a sailboat
I am slowly floating nowhere
Lost the memories of where I am and why

Black ocean churning
A million stars are burning
Planetariums were right about the sky

Once upon a day I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind 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

There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me
But it did behind my back and settled down
Used to square up with the land used to size it in my hand
But it fell behind the line that meets to sky

Once upon a day I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind 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

Inside this storm 
Whipping in the wind, my sail is torn 
In other words, the ends I made are not my own

Hard to see I won't always be alone

I'm a sailboat I am slowly floating nowhere
Hoping someday I'll wash up on someone else's shore
