Sail ho heave ho come on let go   Your time on earth is over   I watch you sleeping on the bed   I'm talking to your soul      Did you ever think, it'd be like this?   Did you ever think, you'd laugh so much?   Did you ever think, you'd have to try so hard?   Oh      I'm watching my sweet mama   From my vigil on this chair   I close my eyes I feel a change   Is this my lover here?      Did you ever think, it'd be like this?   Did you ever think, you'd walk away?   You and me running through the back streets of the world   Like a pack of hounds of two      Wanting more and more love and how much is too much?   Did you ever think we'd love so hard?   Fighting hard and hurting worse   Oh, you're sailing away      Go away just ignore them      Next time, I open my eyes, is this my father here?   I know it's you because I recognize the smiling little boy   On the sunny front porch holding his mama's hand   Remember when your mama said "we all need love"?      Well, we all need love   Did you ever think, you'd refuse love after all?   Did you ever think, you'd give love and then take it away?   And leave the lives around you in such shame and disarray and pain      It's alright   Put your arms around my neck   Hold me tight as we drift out now   While I have the strength of ten men      Hold me close as we drift out into the darkness   Pigeons rushing up past our heads   People in doorways   I think this is Europe somewhere      You're so thin you're so light, don't let go hold me   Are these yours or mine?   There is nothing, I'd rather have than for you   To put your hand upon my forehead      Just keep it there, don't take it away   And tell me that even though you may not like all   The things I do but say that you love my soul   And remember me, remember me?      Hold me close, put your arms around my neck   As we drift out I've finished it   Into the darkness, you're so thin, it's only a movie   Run Bambi run, it's only a movie      Brothers and sisters, fire   I'm there and there's a body lying at the foot of it   Hold me close, we're moving out across the water now   And you're lying on this beach, sleeping      And a tiger's watching you from the edge of the jungle   And the sun through the leaves and his stripes and it's   And you're sleeping and I'm watching and he's watching   And you're so beautiful      Sail ho heave ho come on let go   Your time on earth is over   You have done, well it's time to rest   I'm talking to your soul      Did you ever think, it'd be like this?   Do you ever think, we'll meet again?   How will I ever know it's you?   Maybe, will it be the love that I'll feel?      When I look into a stranger's eyes   When I look into a stranger's eyes   Oh, you're sailing away      I keep my vigil on this chair   Is this my lover here?   Is this my brother here?   Is this my baby?   Is this me lying here?
