Lyrics:
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?
