Who shines the light on the water? Who sings the song before the shore? A reckless void locked in limbo Where providence is law To define, to decide There’s a voice, there’s a light - they shine Is it fate or compromise Or just a choice you must divide Four bells ring every quarter A mirage picture lay before The mist can hold in her power A thousand nights to just one dawn - i’m breaking Out here alone I hear the sound of the voice of the unknown Out here alone The darkness chills you to the bone Hoist the mainsail Watch her fly through the air Head out for the landmark With the spiral stair
Who steers this wheel of fortune? Whose turn to dare and throw the dice? As the wind around you whispers Between the song, between the light - i’m waiting Out here alone I hear the sound of the voice of the unknown Out here alone The darkness chills you to the bone Hoist the mainsail Let the wind take the flight Head around the landmark With the brilliant light Hoist the mainsail As you fly on thin air Yes, head around the landmark With the spiral stair INSTRUMENTAL Out here alone I hear the sound of the voice of the unknown Out here alone The ebbing tide won’t take you home
