Suzanne Vega - The Long Voyage lyrics

[feat. Suzanne Vega & John Cale] Ocean, ocean is a voyage This is a voyage Ocean is a voyage This is a voyage A long, long voyage Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Going up, up, up Going down, down, down The sea is flecked with bars of grey The dull dead wind is out of tune And like a withered leaf the moon Is blown across the stormy bay Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Etched clear upon the pallid sand Lies the black boat: a sailor boy Clambers aboard in careless joy With laughing face and gleaming hand And overhead the curlews cry Don't lose the voyage This is a voyage Don't lose the voyage This is a voyage A long, long voyage Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Going up, up, up Going down, down, down And overhead the curlews cry Where through the dusky upland gra** The young brown-throated reapers pa** Like silhouettes against the sky Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Like silhouettes against the sky Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Like silhouettes against the sky Going up, up, up Going down, down, down Going up, up, up Going down, down, down This is a voyage A long, long voyage This is a voyage This is a voyage A long, long, long voyage This is a voyage A violent voyage A long, long voyage This is a voyage As far as the eye can see, a voyage A long, long voyage This is a voyage As far as the eye can see, a voyage A violent voyage As far as the eye can see, a voyage
