Set Out North

Set out north on a ship

That's no longer on steam

But authority claims

It's the past, but it's not

Though we spent days away

And my nerves are less shattered

Takes a shot to the edge

With a hammer and scatters

The view and a truck stop keeps me going

You keep my eyes open

As we motor past the miles

Small signs they mark the road

For the rescues that we hope

Never need to happen

So we listen to a show on the radio

I'll come along with you

We'll go so far but it's never enough

So this time we'll set our course

This time we'll sell our clothes

Boat out by the big beyond

But we end up right at home

You struggle to keep company

As your eyelids tug with the luxury

Of a shotgun seat but you fall asleep

'cause you trust in me that you'll wake

With a view of a moonlit sea

Far, far from everything

That goes over and over

Again and again on repeat

So we sail away and we'll both break free

I'll come along with you

We'll go so far but it's never enough

So this time we'll set our course

This time we'll sell our clothes

Boat out by the big beyond

But we end up right at home

Where all the storms are pushed out to the sea
