Call the Ships to Port 歌詞
a billion words ago the sailors disappeared a story for the children to rock them back to sleep a million burning books like torches in our hands a fabric of ideals to decorate our homes a thousand generations the soil on which we walk a mountain of mistakes for us to climb for pleasure a hundred clocks are ticking the line becomes a circle spin the wheel of fortune or learn to navigate a choir full of longing will call our ships to port the countless lonely voices like whispers in the dark a second of reflection can take you to the moon the slightest hesitation can bring you down in flames a single spark of passion can change a man forever a moment in a lifetime is all it takes to break him a fraction of a heartbeat made us what we are a brother and a sister for better or for worse a billion words ago they sang a song of leaving an echo from the chorus will call them back again a choir full of longing… tonight we light the fires we call our ships to port tonight we walk on water and tomorrow we' ll be gone
