Maiden Voyage
By The Clockwork Dolls
High above the weary world
I wait and watch and think of you
I never thought that life would find me
Laughing with the pale moon
The patchwork of the land below me
Endless ribbons in the night
I'll ne'er again be who I was:
A child before my soul took flight
I stop to think of all I've lost;
The list begins and ends with you
Don't be afraid of who I am
This strength is what I've come into
Fly with me
Forget the past
We can build the future
In steel and bra**
Those below
We leave behind
You really thought I'd be content
A housewife in a gilded cage?
The sea, the sky, it's all the same;
Adventure being what I crave
I'll never stop, I won't come down!
My pa**ion's here in whirring gears
This triumph of my female soul
I will not spoil with useless tears
The deck vibrates beneath my shoes:
The rhythm of my beating heart
I will not mourn what might have been
Our story's done before it starts
Fly with me
Forget the past
We can build the future
In steel and bra**
Those below
We leave behind
Conquering the clouds
As gears unwind
