The Open Sea Lyrics

	Passing on the water's edge
	And wrinkling some time
	You set your mind on moving along.
	Pacing forth with pant-less breath
	In the shade of the shadow-less palms—
	Gold pastures of dawn—
	O, the open sea ...
	Though the tides are new and high
	Your eyes are anchored still to some old ideas
	And some effortless tricks
	That comfort you and hold you
	While the fleas and flies still bite
	Like the salty air on steel
	O, what do you still feel?
	Passing from the water's edge
	And tending the lines
	You set your mind on moving along.
	For well beyond the breakers' crash
	Harvests of the blue horizon's loom
	Will offer a new and open sea
	That weaves the stars and deep—
	Reasons for our faith—
	As the currents state and set to reveal
	O, what you do still feel!
	They'll comfort you and carry you
	Where the aging canvas fills
	And the salty air you'll feel…

	Passing on the water' s edge
	And wrinkling some time
	You set your mind on moving along.
	Pacing forth with pantless breath
	In the shade of the shadowless palms
	Gold pastures of dawn
	O, the open sea ...
	Though the tides are new and high
	Your eyes are anchored still to some old ideas
	And some effortless tricks
	That comfort you and hold you
	While the fleas and flies still bite
	Like the salty air on steel
	O, what do you still feel?
	Passing from the water' s edge
	And tending the lines
	You set your mind on moving along.
	For well beyond the breakers' crash
	Harvests of the blue horizon' s loom
	Will offer a new and open sea
	That weaves the stars and deep
	Reasons for our faith
	As the currents state and set to reveal
	O, what you do still feel!
	They' ll comfort you and carry you
	Where the aging canvas fills
	And the salty air you' ll feel

	Passing on the water' s edge
	And wrinkling some time
	You set your mind on moving along.
	Pacing forth with pantless breath
	In the shade of the shadowless palms
	Gold pastures of dawn
	O, the open sea ...
	Though the tides are new and high
	Your eyes are anchored still to some old ideas
	And some effortless tricks
	That comfort you and hold you
	While the fleas and flies still bite
	Like the salty air on steel
	O, what do you still feel?
	Passing from the water' s edge
	And tending the lines
	You set your mind on moving along.
	For well beyond the breakers' crash
	Harvests of the blue horizon' s loom
	Will offer a new and open sea
	That weaves the stars and deep
	Reasons for our faith
	As the currents state and set to reveal
	O, what you do still feel!
	They' ll comfort you and carry you
	Where the aging canvas fills
	And the salty air you' ll feel
