Lyrics of Sailing Nowhere by Kane's River
This isn′t my story for i'm just a boat
It′s really my captain who's barely afloat
For we finally made scotland in six months and a day
To bring back his lover who promised she'd wait
But upon our arrival a message was relayed
His lover had married, her promise betrayed
So he said, "boys i′m sorry but i′m leaving you here,"
Then the heart-broken captain and me disappeared
Now we're sailing nowhere
Slowly we wander across seven seas
Sailing nowhere
It′s the one destination his heart can be free
The tropic of cancer, warm tropical days
He can't see their beauty, he just sees her face
For all of the wind in his mainsail has died
She set him adrift with those hurricane lies
I secretly hope that we circle forever
Just me and the captain alone
I′d carry him through all the wind in the weather
The ocean could be our new home
I feel all his sadness through the soles of his boots
When he stands by my railing beneath the full moon
His tears soak my timbers like a summertime wave
But the salt of his sorrows, i can't wash away
So we′re sailing nowhere
Slowly we wander across seven seas
Sailing nowhere
It's the one destination his heart can be
Sailing nowhere
Slowly we wander across seven seas
Sailing nowhere
It's the one destination his heart can be free
