Before the war I had no need for travelling
Indeed I do not know what made it so important to leave
And after all this time I found that I’m avoiding me
For nothing more or less than fear
Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear
Although it’s only coming home that brings you near
Master John my brother is a sailor
Upon this ship of light we are the master-sails in the wind
And you can understand we need a hand to guide us in
So many claim to be the one
But like a shadow on the sun
They fade and spin
And we are scattered on the ocean once again
Before the war I had no need for travelling
Indeed I do not know what made it so important to leave
And after all this time I found that I’m avoiding me
For nothing more or less than fear
Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear
Although it’s only coming home that brings you near
Although it’s only coming home that brings a tear
Indeed I do not know what made it so important to leave
And after all this time I found that I’m avoiding me
For nothing more or less than fear
Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear
Although it’s only coming home that brings you near
