| Part 1: The Sea Is My Blood | |
| The sea is my blood, | |
| The rain and the stars are my eyes, | |
| The clouds are my mind, | |
| The sea and the rain is my blood. | |
| Part 2: From Cradle To Calvary | |
| Lying ahull | |
| Ride out this storm | |
| Doused all the sails | |
| I let the boat drift. | |
| And so upon this tumbling sea | |
| Fathoms below | |
| Heavens above me. | |
| I'm setting sail for Les Marquises | |
| From cradle bound for Calvary. | |
| I feel so alive, | |
| How can it be | |
| Upon this wide, wide open sea? | |
| There was a time | |
| I was so alive | |
| A Paris. | |
| Part 3: The Pleasures And The Dreams Of Men | |
| I sing their song | |
| I mesmerised, | |
| The sweat and the tears | |
| Stream from my eyes, | |
| The shock impact of every line. | |
| I sang to their souls | |
| Oh the dreams I would bring | |
| I showed them who they are | |
| And all they could be. | |
| All the ugliness and the beauty | |
| Of the harsh reality. | |
| I gave them the man | |
| They want me to be | |
| And held up the mirror | |
| So they could see themselves | |
| (reflected) | |
| I made the myth where the man ends | |
| And the legend begins. | |
| Part 4: The Harbour Lights | |
| In the evening they'll be drinking | |
| And swinging the lamp, | |
| Drinking and brawling | |
| Telling tall stories | |
| Their fishy tales, | |
| Around and around | |
| On the merry-go-round. | |
| And all the love that they'll make | |
| Between tousled sheets, | |
| Bed springs creak | |
| In time to their heartbeats | |
| And the click of the heels | |
| Down the cobbled streets. | |
| Let us remind the old lovers | |
| For whom the wine has turned sour, | |
| This could be | |
| The finest hour of their time. | |
| In the giddy hell | |
| Of the carousel. | |
| Part 5: Far Beyond The Cardinal Points | |
| I've been waiting here a long time, | |
| I've been waiting for the longest | |
| Night of my days, | |
| Out here alone. | |
| Part 6: I'm So Very Far From Here | |
| I'm so very far from here | |
| (home is a long way) from me. | |
| I'm so very far from me | |
| (home is a long way) | |
| From this wide open sea. | |
| I'm so very far from here | |
| (home is a long way) from me. | |
| Part 7: Let Us Speak of Love | |
| Let us speak | |
| Speak of love, | |
| Of home and hope | |
| Loving and leaving | |
| Of laughter and forgetting | |
| And letting go. | |
| One day we're born | |
| On another we die | |
| What lies in-between's unimportant in this life. | |
| I feel the ache in my chest | |
| As I draw breath. | |
| So let us speak of love, | |
| Love and generosity. | |
| And if we only have love | |
| It's more than enough. | |
| Part 8: Calvary – The Sea Is My Blood (Reprise) | |
| The sea is my blood, | |
| The rain and stars are my eyes, | |
| The clouds are my mind, | |
| The sea and rain is my blood. | |
