Oh end this day show me the ocean   When shall I see the sea      May this day set me in emotion   I ought to be on my way      We were there   We were sailing on the terra nova   Sailing for the setting sun   Sailing for the new horizon      May this day show me an ocean   I ought to be on my way      Ought to be on my way right now   Stepping on the boat   With a lump in my throat   On my way right now      I got a letter from a dear friend of mine   The story of a spiritual awakening   She spoke of her love   Returning in kind   She let me know that   She'd be waiting      And I should be on my way by now   Walking across the floor   Reaching for the door   On my way by now      But here I sit country fool that I am   My elbow on my knee   And my chin in my hand   My mind in the gutter   And my eye on the street   Holed up in a cave of concrete      And I ought to be on my way right now   Packing my things   While the telephone rings   On my way right now      I miss my lovely mother   And I love my lonely father   I know I owe my brothers   One thing and another   I hear my sister singing      And I ought to be on my way right now   Moving across the land   With my heart in my hand   On my way by now   Ought to be on my way by now      Oh end this day set me in motion   Ought to be on my way      Out of the west of lambert's cove   There's a sail out in the sun   And I'm on board though very small   I've come home to stop yearning      Burn off the haze around the shore   Turn off the crazy way I feel   I'll stay away from you no more   I've come home to stop yearning
