Sail

Set sails aiming for the sake of savin'
Hoping for the hiding sun
Wading in the oceans making no movement
Waiting til time was gone

I would always call
Never seemed to fall for
The way you looked and cared for life
You were never there, the waves just kept you by

Invisible and powerless is how I sat at night
Upright; Out of mind is out of sight
Close into me, I hold out for the light
Oh, but out of mind, I'm out of sight

I would never tell you
Never make days come to
An end that didn't fit quite tight
But someone else told me
Someone else known me--
Better than I ever thought you might

I sat praying on the shores sayin'
That you'd never ever ever find the light
Or you'd pull back, stay in
Could you make your way in?
Without pride fakin' a fight

Invisible and powerless is how I sit at night
Upright; Out of mind is out of sight
Close into me, I hold out for the light
Oh, but out of mind, I'm out of sight

When will the tides
--I'll sleep at night--
To take me in strides
--Stay out of sight--

(When will I...When will I...When will I...)

Invisible and powerless is how I sit at night (When will I?)
Upright; Out of mind is out of sight (When will I?)
Close into me, I hold out for the light (When will I?)
Oh, but out of mind, I'm out of sight (When will I?)
Out of sight.
