Dead of Night

I've been walking in the dead of night

Looking down, looking right

If the morning's red

Then I'll be alright

I've been sailing on a dozen seas

Searching for that elusive breeze

If my raft won't sink

I'll have some time to think

I am sailing in winter

We are slowing down, we are going down

Ocean waves are to die for

Endless blue and gray, endless

Lines we trace of a thousand ends

We'll count the ways we can't begin

Stay in our homes

Remain on our own

Lie everyone, says you should believe

That the map you draw shows the life you'll lead

Stay the course

And that world will be yours

I will climb to a new ridge

Where the light is low, and the lake below

Calls my name to jump off it

Endless blue and gray, endless

I've been walking in the dead of night

Looking down, looking right

If the morning's red

Then I'll be alright

I've been sailing on a dozen seas

Searching for that elusive breeze

If my raft does sink

I'll have some time to think
