lyrics

I wanted to know how far to go before we turned and sailed for land, but you didn’t say and so we sailed long and hard. The world’s going to turn again, away from me. Hope has long since gone, and though it’s wrong, I feel calm and at peace. I have no home or family ties, so I’ll sail on. The world’s going to turn again, away from me. Once, I sighted land and all of my men swam for sustenance – but I turned around and left them behind; I can’t face the world because it’s going to turn again, away from me.
