Call The Ships To Port

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
[x2]
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
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the dark
[x2]
Tonight we light the fires
We call our ships to port
Tonight we walk on water
And tomorrow we'll be gone
[x3]
Tonight
Tonight
