New track from the New Bones. All feedback welome!
This is great! I hear a lot going on in the lyric; I'd love to have the words in front of me so I could study them.
Hi, thanks for the feedback - I really appreciate it.
Here are the words ...
Like a Ship Without a Sail
Neon tide under a tin can moon
The radio static hides a tune
Waiting on a spark in a world gone gray
Cigarette ghosts dance upon the pier
Trading their dreams for a souvenir
I reach for the night but it fades away
Like a ship without a sail
Cast adrift, without a way back home
The sands of time, they will prevail,
Cos you know that I'm
Waiting for a love worth mine
I'm a paper boat on a rising tide
I flick a stone through a hole in the sky
Gone are the stars in this darkened place
I built a raft out of worn-out prayers
Tied them up with a lock of her hair
I'm drifting around where the waves don't break
Like a ship without a sail
Cast adrift, without a way back home
The sands of time, they will prevail,
Cos you know that I'm
Waiting for a love worth mine
I will find my way, find my way back home
The stars appear like runway lights
But I'm grounded in the dead of night
I watch the tide but she never turns
The siren sings from a record groove
A love song stuck in an endless loop
I'm still waiting for a flame to burn
Like a ship without a sail
Cast adrift, without a way back home
The sands of time, they will prevail,
Cos you know that I'm
Waiting for a love worth mine
I will find my way, find my way back home
What a lot of great images! My favorite line:
I reach for the night but it fades away
