Terra Nova

Oh end this day show me the ocean
When shall I see the seaMay this day set me in emotion
I ought to be on my wayWe were there
We were sailing on the terra nova
Sailing for the setting sun
Sailing for the new horizonMay this day show me an ocean
I ought to be on my wayOught to be on my way right now
Stepping on the boat
With a lump in my throat
On my way right nowI got a letter from a dear friend of mine
The story of a spiritual awakening
She spoke of her love
Returning in kind
She let me know that
She'd be waitingAnd I should be on my way by now
Walking across the floor
Reaching for the door
On my way by nowBut here I sit country fool that I am
My elbow on my knee
And my chin in my hand
My mind in the gutter
And my eye on the street
Holed up in a cave of concreteAnd I ought to be on my way right now
Packing my things
While the telephone rings
On my way right nowI miss my lovely mother
And I love my lonely father
I know I owe my brothers
One thing and another
I hear my sister singingAnd I ought to be on my way right now
Moving across the land
With my heart in my hand
On my way by now
Ought to be on my way by nowOh end this day set me in motion
Ought to be on my wayOut of the west of lambert's cove
There's a sail out in the sun
And I'm on board though very small
I've come home to stop yearningBurn off the haze around the shore
Turn off the crazy way I feel
I'll stay away from you no more
I've come home to stop yearning
