The Rolling Sea and the New Wave Cavalier
I'm sailing out across the sea
out past the skyline, you won't find me
and you never will
oh no, no no no
Doctor where does this sickness lie?
quiet phone, quiet july
nine one on the telephone bills
write me letters but the senders don't want to be known
I've seen sorrow and I've seen pain
I've seen laughter and what's inbetween
I made a myth just like a map
and a virtue I suspect that I lack
Sysiphus calls the shot in here
the rolling sea and the new wave cavalier
I don't want to fly now
I just need some solid ground
I just need to know what it's like to be
more than make believe
Apollo's bothered about the rising water
Pan is calling to hear his song
but I love it when you pour that whiskey down my throat
I'm a saint but I've got to be careful where I go
you've left me no wings, no sirens, no strings
tell me more about the end, will he forgive every sin?
I don't want to be a leader, I just want to get in
I'm not the star you think I am
a light fades from within
we'll be all that we can
the garden flower's colder, the truth as we grow older
bring me back down, Icarus, I think we're too high
and if the world's gonna end, it might as well be tonight
the hands that grip my shoulders, the way the ocean holds us
"I'm not your star"
so let's just hope my will to live is stronger than my will to feel alright
I have a recording of it I just did up at http://www.myspace.com/johnnymainstream
