Look out at the water The sullen seas are sound Put the mast up out of anger And wished for wind to come But a sail won't bring us forward If the air is still tonight So we'll drift around in silence till the morning brings her light Thought i'd escape to california And sing someone else's songs Took account of my shortcomings Left them all in oregon But shortcomings have a heartbeat And a pulse not be ignored Spread my feelings out like fire Left them burning on the floor But i can't bring us forward If the air is still tonight So we'll drift along in silence Till the morning shows her light And then perhaps a breeze will come And move our tired limbs For i'm so sick of walking I've almost given in I'll sleep on it. Look out at the water The sullen seas are sound Put the mast up out in anger And wished for wind to come But a sail won't push us forward If the air is still tonight So we'll drift along in silence till the morning brings her light And then perhaps a breeze will come And move our tired limbs For i'm so sick of walking I've almost given in I'll sleep on it.
