Can't see too many more
Can't see them anymore
Waving from afar
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 ashore
Searching for my soul
Body sea and sky
Body sea and sky
Cast upon this sea
Is this ship of fools
Cast upon this sea
Is this ship of fools
They're all aboard
Except for me
Can we 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
Now I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
Body sea and sky
I was born sea and sky
In this ship of fool
In this ship of fools
Cast upon this sea
Is this ship of fools
We think we've gone too far
We think we've gone too far
We think we've gone too far
