When you sit by the bay
Do the ships dance and sway
Do they speak to the hole in your soul
Which is hungry and never gets full
And do you feel the thrall of them all

Do you think I must go
Fare thee well all I know
And lurch forward just to stop
Frozen still as a rock
As the boats disappear
Down the horizon

What has caused you to stay my son
When you yearn to be free and away my son
Why have you chained yourself to me
The dock overlooking the sea

Well I've known you a while
You are young meek and mild
You are afraid of being alone
But you fear that it's all that you know
Then sure in to the blue
To find those who love you

You're afraid to dive in
You dip your toes and call it a swim
If you swim
You may say
It's a bold and brave departure
From where you call home
In your heart
You know that's not so

Oh what has caused you stay my son
When you yearn to be free and away my son
Why have you chained yourself to me
The dock overlooking the sea

Seagulls they bark mockery from the sky
Dragging your name as they go flying by
And you watch from the dock with a veangeful eye
Throwing a rock but the shot goes awry
Rinse and repeat as the years pass you by
Oh when will you come to your senses

I am old
Made of wood
But I'm tempered sturdy and good
So don't wait for my falling down
For a reason to leave solid ground
You must go on your own accord
Don't be bound
Be bound away into storm
