Flagship

Like a flagship on the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night out on a stormy sea
Everybody needs a beacon’s light
When you’re twisting, turning, listening, yearning
For a guardian angel to have your back
When they’re coming up from behind
You’re like everyone who’s lost their way
In a world of strangers, daggers, dangers
A tattered soul on the jagged shoals
Of a better world to find
I’m your shelter, your asylum
I run deep, I run silent
When the city streets turn violent
Close your eyes and I am there
Like a flagship on the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night out on a stormy sea
I will guide you homeward safely to the shoreline
Like a flagship lead you safely back to me
Like a flagship I will lead you back to me
I have known you through the ups and downs
What makes you crazy, lost and lazy
And the things that make you human
Are the things I cherish most of all
I’m not a pillar, not made of stone
But I live and breathe for you alone
In my heart of hearts you’ve made a home
And I’ll run to you when you call
I’m your shelter, your asylum
I run deep, I run silent
When the city streets turn violent
You’re in my every prayer
(x3) Like a flagship on the dark side of the ocean
On a moonless night out on a stormy sea
I will guide you homeward safely to the shoreline
Like a flagship lead you safely back to me
Like a flagship I will lead you back to me
