Passage assured | |
on the good ship Goodbye... | |
dare I raise up my eyes | |
to stare into the rigging? | |
(Preparing to go/come home...) | |
All we could have done | |
we're at pains to explain | |
but all our might in the main | |
is only empty promise | |
unfulfilled at last | |
still no-one can be blamed | |
for breaking daily bread, | |
thinking ahead. | |
Blessed with strange grace | |
and reluctant to face | |
ineluctable fate, | |
I say I saw the future | |
I said forget the past | |
but I'll not hear the last | |
of lives I've never led, | |
thinking ahead. |
