Reaching for Ships


Her masts are so tall against the sky
So far from the dockyard and away from the land
I'd sink if I walked
But I'm eager to try
Another great ship goes sailing by

That's what the dream's about
Reason go walkabout
Reaching for ships
With cold finger tips
Reaching for ships
With cold fingertips

Who was the shipwright and who was the hand
To some distant dockyard in another fair land
I'm stiff from the cold
And I'm seeking the trace
In the compass of eyes in a heart shaped face
I'd sink if I walked
But I'm eager to try
Another great ship goes sailing by

That's what the dream's about
Reason go walkabout
Reaching for ships
With cold finger tips
Reaching for ships
With cold fingertips

Another great ship goes sailing by
