Intro (narrated)
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time
....T.S. Eliot 'Little Gidding' (1942)
-----------------------------------------
V1
How young we were, and foolish too
For wisdom is the child of years
And from a depth of desolation
We promised that no matter what
We'd never cease from exploration
V2
The world spun webs around us both
Fiercely wound those silken threads
Each one kept our souls from soaring
And mundane matters forced a halt
And the end of our exploring
Chorus
Now on the craft we call our lives
The sails are straining to unfurl
And wild with innocence again
We'll swing the mighty ship around
To dare an unknown constellation
Plunging deep into the night
Led by a different lodestar's light
V3
For dear I am still in love with you
The only difference is how much
While left alone, it grew unguarded
Leaving no way to repossess
But to go to where we started
Bridge
In the memory that breaks my sleep at night
My hands are tangled in your hair
Your mouth is soft on mine
I ache to return to where we met
And know the place for the very first time
Chorus
Now on the craft we call our lives
The sails are straining to unfurl
And wild with innocence again
We'll swing the mighty ship around
To dare an unknown constellation
Plunging deep into the night
Led by a different lodestar's light
Chorus (shortened)
Wild with innocence again
We swing the mighty ship around
Plunging deep into the night
Led by a different lodestar's light
