Kane's River - Sailing Nowhere lyrics

This isn't my story for I'm just a boat It's really my captain who's barely afloat For we finally made Scotland in six months and a day To bring back his lover who promised she'd wait But upon our arrival a message was relayed His lover had married, her promise betrayed So he said, "Boys I'm sorry but I'm leaving you here," Then the heart-broken captain and me disappeared Now we're sailing nowhere Slowly we wander across seven seas Sailing nowhere It's the one destination his heart can be free The Tropic of Cancer, warm tropical days He can't see their beauty, he just sees her face For all of the wind in his mainsail has died She set him adrift with those hurricane lies I secretly hope that we circle forever Just me and the captain alone I'd carry him through all the wind in the weather The ocean could be our new home I feel all his sadness through the soles of his boots When he stands by my railing beneath the full moon His tears soak my timbers like a summertime wave But the salt of his sorrows, I can't wash away So we're sailing nowhere Slowly we wander across seven seas Sailing nowhere It's the one destination his heart can be Sailing nowhere Slowly we wander across seven seas Sailing nowhere It's the one destination his heart can be free
