With a leading light,
And a face that launched a thousand ships before,
To no return follow me I’m right behind you.
On a dreamless night,
Pulled forward by the moon and the dark stars,
To another world,
Where love will die or come to find you.
One day when my boat comes in from,
Far away to keep my head above water…
Steady now,
Steady as she goes,
I’ll sail closer to the wind,
Before I miss her boat,
Ready here I go,
I’m not gonna swing in the lead anymore.
Time and tides wait for no one,
If you don’t know the ropes…
You’re in the dark,
Treading water deep beneath your feet,
I’ve seen this night,
I’ve seen it over and over again…
Well I feel I’m moving full steam ahead,
To my oil on trouble waters…
Steady now,
Steady as she goes,
I’ll sail closer to the wind,
Before I miss her boat,
Ready here I go,
I’m not gonna swing in the lead anymore.
Nights are wasting, I feel wasted,
‘Cause I’m not getting what you’re on about,
Though I try, try to forget about it,
But I’m tired of waiting round,
‘Cause I’m just ready now.
