The Tall Ships Lyrics

	There’s an ocean, and as far as I can see
	It must end eventually
	This distance is discreet
	Slowly water, it will wash right over me
	When perfection is deceit
	If this thing was meant to be, it will be
	Chorus:
	And when the tall ships come to carry me
	I’ll be waiting patiently
	And when the time has come for me to go
	I will try to make you see
	And when the tall ships come to take me home
	It will be with dignity
	And when the tall ships come…
	I am sorry, all the things I meant to say
	And words escape me every day
	But the words are not to blame
	So please listen, there’s a quiet melody
	There’s a place that falls between
	If this thing was meant to be, it will be
	(Chorus)
	There is the distance and if we took the time
	Then we would not forgive a feeling
	Always an ocean that I cannot define
	And when you draw the line
	Then we can start this healing, this healing
	(Chorus)

	There' s an ocean, and as far as I can see
	It must end eventually
	This distance is discreet
	Slowly water, it will wash right over me
	When perfection is deceit
	If this thing was meant to be, it will be
	Chorus:
	And when the tall ships come to carry me
	I' ll be waiting patiently
	And when the time has come for me to go
	I will try to make you see
	And when the tall ships come to take me home
	It will be with dignity
	And when the tall ships come
	I am sorry, all the things I meant to say
	And words escape me every day
	But the words are not to blame
	So please listen, there' s a quiet melody
	There' s a place that falls between
	If this thing was meant to be, it will be
	Chorus
	There is the distance and if we took the time
	Then we would not forgive a feeling
	Always an ocean that I cannot define
	And when you draw the line
	Then we can start this healing, this healing
	Chorus
