THE SAILING SONG
(Shore Bound, lamenting)
Elly D’Arcy

I see you sail on the horizon
When will you turn your head
Sail back to the shore?

When will you choose our song
Over the seabirds’ cry?
When will you take your heart
From where the waves lie?

You say I hold you like a prisoner
You want to be free to sail, to roam
The dark waves cross the ocean I watch them
Some day they will carry you home.

Don’t sail back into the distance
Or stare at the sea, the waves, the foam
I’ll watch you shore bound, lamenting, the gulls cry
Without you here to carry them home.

I’ll sing to you, my sailing friend
Please, can we begin again?
Shed our skins and turn the boat around
I’ll echo back across the sea

Say you’re coming home to me
And I’ll know you now
And some day I’ll see you sail

I see you sail on the horizon
When will you turn your head
Sail back to the shore?
