With a leading light
And a face that launched a thousand ships before
To no return follow me I'm right behind you
On a dreamless night
Pulled forward by the moon and the dark stars
To another world
Where love will die or come to find you
One day when my boat comes in from
Far away to keep my head above water...
Steady now
Steady as she goes
I'll sail closer to the wind
Before I miss her boat
Ready here I go
I'm not gonna swing in the lead anymore
Time and tides wait for no one
If you don't know the ropes...
You're in the dark
Treading water deep beneath your feet
I've seen this night
I've seen it over and over again...
Well I feel I'm moving full steam ahead
To my oil on trouble waters...
Steady now
Steady as she goes
I'll sail closer to the wind
Before I miss her boat
Ready here I go
I'm not gonna swing in the lead anymore
Nights are wasting, I feel wasted
'Cause I'm not getting what you're on about
Though I try, try to forget about it
But I'm tired of waiting round
'Cause I'm just ready now
