[G] Lost in transmission, the message of my mission
As a sailor torn, I could not [D] see.
[D] So I floated with abandon, not waiting for a landing,
while letting go and trying to be [G] free.
[G] When you’re sailing silent, under faded skies of violet,
Without a torch to light the path you [D] need.
[D] Sometimes you just wander, into that deep blue yonder
Holding on and shouting out with [G]glee.
[C] I’m alive, and staying [G] on.
There’s a [C]world here I haven’t [G] known.
[G] For soon my ship had struck the shore, I was dragged into an old bookstore
drifting through the aisles of ancient [D] lore.
[D] I was flipping through the pages, scribbled on by the sages,
Telling me twelve stages I can’t [G]ignore.
[G] Gazing at the faces of the patrons in their spaces
Missing warm embraces long [D] ago.
[D] They were caught in their frustration, making conversation,
throwing in quotations from [G] Thor-eau
[G] And by my own admission, I was a stage magician
faking premonitions of my [D] own
[D] Now all the cards turn over, it’s the middle of October
And now I am as sober as a [G]stone.
[G] To all of those inventions, from far away dimensions
Calling my attention, from [D] before.
[D] I must be out much farther in the dark icy water, cause I sure don’t hear you calling [G] anymore.
[C] I’m alive. and doing [G] well.
I’m [C] awake from that charming [G]spell.
(slower)
[G] O’ how the night time shivers, for lovers and their whispers
there’s an endless flowing river, I [D] explore
[D] The winter storm is biting, but there’s nothing more exciting
than the thunder and the lightning at my [G]oar
[C] I’m alive, and sailing [G] on.
[C] I’m departing this flesh and [G]bone.
