I'm going out over the sea I've got a boat, I've got a dream I trim the sails with my own hands Leave all my thought back on the land I'm going out over the sea I won't be back until I'm free I hear a voice, a siren's review I hear it calling out of the blue A song of a strange unbearable thing It grows in the water, it goes unseen I'm going out over the sea Hearing the song I've come to see What is this monster in the gyre? All that's thrown over the side And I want to know... How we live in a world that provides and expires How we grow, come to know our hearts desire I'm going out over the sea All I have heard, all I have seen We are all out, out in a dream We are a boat, we are the sea After all the rise and fall is all that still remains
