Taking on water lyrics

On a sailboat I am

Slowly floating nowhere

Lost the memories of where I am and why

Black ocean churning

A million stars are burning

Planetariums were right about the sky

Once upon a day I set off on a journey

Wishing on the wind to take me far from home

Now I'm on the waves and I'm taking on water

Hard to see I won't always be alone

There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me

But it dipped behind my back and settled down

It used to square up with the land, used to size it in my hand

But it fell behind the line that meets the sky

Once upon a day I set off on a journey

Wishing on the wind to take me far from home

Now I'm on the waves and I'm taking on water

Hard to see I won't always be alone

Inside this storm

Whipping in the wind, my sail is torn

In other words, the ends I mend are not my own

Hard to see I won't always be alone

On a sailboat I am

Slowly floating nowhere

Hoping someday I'll wash upon someone else's shore
