lyrics

See the needle on the compass spin
hopelessly swinging round and round
She has no guide to help her through
these troubled times
The maps are torn
and out of date
And she can't see the stars
for the clouds

He's a sailor with a sextant
aimlessly pointing to the sky
But its no use to him,
The ancient course is hard to find
The lights ahead
won't stay in line
and the shoreline is lost
in the haze

Today the sea is blue
Other times its just a steely grey
I want these waves
to wash over me
and carry me, carry me away

The radar beam's gone crazy
blinking madly on the screen
There's nothing now
to take him safely home
Today is lost
adrift at sea
And tomorrow feels trapped
in yesterday

Today the sea is blue
Other times its just a steely grey
I want these waves
to wash over me
and carry me, carry me away
