lyrics

Strung to the ballast
Losing my head
I been reading all about it
But I’d rather forget
Just wait that magic trumpet’s bout to
Stand up and blast
With a song
With the right one
A song that will last

I been starin off the starboard bow
While the waves crash up the hull
I keep the engine running
But the currents push and pull
So wait them waves come crash
Then they climb against the wall
With a song
Here it comes
That new song’s about to fall

I been slowly losin interest
And barely makin sense
It’s like tryin to read the compass
But I just see spinning hands
I don’t want to believe it
And I don’t know what to do
But that same bright song that got you lost
Is the song to get you through

So I’m keepin with the rhythm
I keep tryin to catch a lead
Everything that grows up tall and strong
Starts off like a little seed
I’m tryin to find the image
Tryin to clear out all the doubt
With a song
A song you can sing
A song you can shout

I been reading all about it
But I’d rather forget
It feels like the end is coming
But the end ain’t happened yet
So wait that magic trumpet
Well she’s bound to really blow
With a song
A midnight melody that moans
One more song for the road
