I saw it again this evening 
Black sail in a pale yellow sky 
And just as before in a moment  
It was gone where the grey gulls fly. 

If it happens again I shall worry 
That only a strange ship could fly 
And my sanity scans the horizon 
In the light of the darkening sky. 

That night as I walked in my slumber 
I waded into the sea strand 
And I swam with the moon and her lover 
Until I lost sight of the land 

I swam till the night became morning 
Black sail in a reddening sky 
Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship 
So far where no grey gulls fly 

All around me was silence 
As if mocking my frail human hopes 
And a question mark hung in the canvas 
For the wind that had died in the ropes 

I may have slept for an hour 
I may have slept for a day 
For I woke in a bed of white linen 
And the sky was the colour of clay. 

At first just a rustle of canvas 
And the gentlest breath on my face 
But a galloping line of white horses 
Said that soon we were in for a race 

The gentle sigh turned to a howling 
And the grey sky she angered to black 
And my anxious eyes searched the horizon 
With the gathering sea at my back 

Did I see the shade of a sailor 
On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane 
Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship 
As I squinted my eyes in the rain 

For the ship had turned into the wind 
Against the storm to brace 
And underneath the sailor's hat 
I saw my father's face 

If a prayer today is spoken 
Please offer it for me 
When the bridge to heaven is broken 
And you're lost on the wild wild sea 
Lost on the wild wild sea...
