The Lyrics
Am I going too far? Should I stop now, or like Bill Clinton in the Oval Office, just let it peter out?
Autumn mist
I was helpless as the ship began to list
I feel my way, I'm clinging to the rail
My senses have failed
Deck is slippery, with sleet assailed
Swept away
A thousand giant waves begin to play
And might that be the sound of a crash?
A rupture I hear?
I get worried, the end's drawing near
Someone said that we might reach the bay
And that's just what we wanted to hear
Still I realize how hopelessly we're lost
That's why I'm shedding a tear
Almost drowned
Sailors, helpless on the deck are running 'round
While Fitz is rocking from starboard to port
Our time's running short
I'm still young now, it's too soon to go
I'm still young now, it's too soon to go
I was helpless as the ship began to list
I feel my way, I'm clinging to the rail
My senses have failed
Deck is slippery, with sleet assailed
Swept away
A thousand giant waves begin to play
And might that be the sound of a crash?
A rupture I hear?
I get worried, the end's drawing near
Someone said that we might reach the bay
And that's just what we wanted to hear
Still I realize how hopelessly we're lost
That's why I'm shedding a tear
Almost drowned
Sailors, helpless on the deck are running 'round
While Fitz is rocking from starboard to port
Our time's running short
I'm still young now, it's too soon to go
I'm still young now, it's too soon to go
