The boats have sailed away
   I stand here on the shore
   Can't see them anymore
   Can't see them anymore
  
   Waving from afar
   To the land called home
   Can you come back soon?
   We wish we could
   We think we've gone too far
   On this ship of fools
   We think we've gone too far
   On this ship of fools
  
   And now I walk the shore
   Searching for my soul
   Born in sea and sky
   I was born in sea and sky
  
   Cast afloat the sea
   Is the ship of fools
   And cast afloat the sea
   Is the ship of fools
  
   Heaven's know why
   They went away
   They're all aboard
   Except for me
   Can you come back soon?
   We wish we could
   We think we've gone too far
   On this ship of fools
   On this ship of fools
   On this ship of fools
  
   And now I walk the shore
   Searching for my soul
   And born in sea and sky
   I was born in sea and sky
  
   In this ship of fools
   In this ship of fools
   Cast afloat the sea
   Is this ship of fools
  
   We think we've gone too far...
