I heard a story about a boy who was swept off the deck   The sweeping tide swept the sea over his neck   But it did not end there, the boy began to swim   And dared to the sea that dared to invade him      Did you ever want to know me and   Did you ever feel like I could and   Did you ever want to know me and    Did you ever feel like I could?   It's a silent steeple that carries us down   It's a silent steeple    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa      But the sea would not so much as reply    So the boy yelled to the ships that were fated to die   Red sky at night, sailors take delight   Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning      Did you ever want to know me and   Did you ever feel like I could and   Did you ever want to know me and    Did you ever feel like I could?   It's a silent steeple that carries us down    It's a silent steeple       Sail on (take it back)    [x7]      Here we were, goin' with the wind in our hair   And we didn't wanna look back, 'cause if we did, well we would not care   And if we are to die now, well it wouldn't be that bad    'Cause that boy in the waves said he'd give us everything   Everything he had   To go on and trace that scar like we did ten years before      Did you ever want to know me and   Did you ever feel like I could and   Did you ever want to know me and    Did you ever feel like I could?   It's a silent steeple that carries us down   It's a silent steeple      Sail on (take it back)    [x7]      Sail on
