Father of an island where in life he longed to be
His final wish was bury me at sea
Waiting at the harbour for the turning of the tide
By morning he’ll have sailed far out of sight
Lined along the seashore, much too many tears to hide
The village waits to say the last goodbye
Lost without an anchor, no survivors ever found
I’m wrecked or am I only run aground
And we gaze, the ocean’s our view
Through the haze, he’s sundrowned in blue
Climb through the waves till the wind fills the sails
Ride to the grave, cover over the trail
And no more tomorrow, no more tomorrow
No more today
Shall we reach the end of the day?
Have we seen the end of an age?
Climb through the waves till the wind fills the sails
Ride to the grave, never follow the trail
And no more tomorrow, no more tomorrow
No more today
Light slowly fades till the flames fill the sky
Bright as the day till the waves kill the fire
And no more tomorrow, no more tomorrow
No more today
