Call The Ships To Port lyrics

A billion words ago

The sailors disappeared

A story for the children

To rock them back to sleep

A million burning books

Like torches in our hands

A fabric of ideals

To decorate our homes

A thousand generations

The soil on which we walk

A mountain of mistakes

For us to climb for pleasure

A hundred clocks are ticking

The line becomes a circle

Spin the wheel of fortune

Or learn to navigate

A choir full of longing

Will call our ships to port

The countless lonely voices

Like whispers in the dark [x2]

A second of reflection

Can take you to the moon

The slightest hesitation

Can bring you down in flames

A single spark of passion

Can change a man forever

A moment in a lifetime

Is all it takes to break him

A fraction of a heartbeat

Made us what we are

A brother and a sister

For better or for worse

A billion words ago

They sang a song of leaving

An echo from the chorus

Will call them back again

A choir full of longing

Will call our ships to port

The countless lonely voices

Like whispers in the dark [x2]

Tonight we light the fires

We call our ships to port

Tonight we walk on water

And tomorrow we'll be gone [x3]

Tonight

Tonight
