We sail we sleep we scry by land We dig a pit beneath the sand A place to keep the sun at bay At dark we rise and find our way
With our faithful companion by our side Put it all on the table and let it ride Close to the drop-off on our long slide
The land we left becomes a dream The ghosts we knew, they rise like steam They leave some trails against the sky All but invisible to the eye
With our faithful companion by our side Put it all on the table and let it ride Close to the drop-off on our long slide
Call off the search party, Let mourners wail by the shore
Point to the spot where our ship disappeared We're not coming home any more
Should you succeed and breach the coast You tell your friends you've seen a ghost You tell them all there's nothing here worth dying for You leave it there
With our faithful companion by our side Put it all on the table and let it ride Close to the drop-off on our long slide
