The farmhouse is burning down and you laugh   The wolves in the hills will have their way   The little boys, out in the yard, are waving me      This boat has left, gone away   This boat has left, gone away      The hazy weather is back on the shore   And I will leave these walls behind   It can’t be love, ‘cause there is no true love   It can’t be love, ‘cause there is no true love      Captain Ahab, tell me a story about the sea   Tell me how it all ends   (He said) in time sometime, when the rain stops   (He said) in time sometime, when the rain stops      This boat has left, gone away   This boat has left, gone away
