lyrics

No more distraction, it's full speed ahead
Though halfway home, I am not there yet
Far from the harbor we glide through the water
With nary a sigh

Carefully I sail along
Steering clear of your song
And plaintively you wail away
Begging me that I stay

I may be strong, but I'm not made of stone:
Blame this traversing the sea alone
Swallow the ocean and crack us wide open
With nary a sigh

Shakily I sail along
Weakening at your song
And plaintively you wail away
Begging me that I stay

(And then I give way)

Merrily I sail along
Giving in to your song
And conqueringly you flail away
Sinking me so I stay
