who shines the light on the water?
who sings the song before the shore?
a reckless void locked in limbo
where providence is law
to define, to decide
there's a voice, there's a light - they shine
is it fate or compromise
or just a choice you must divide
four bells ring every quarter
a mirage picture lay before
the mist can hold in her power
a thousand nights to just one dawn - i'm breaking
out here alone
i hear the sound of the voice of the unknown
out here alone
the darkness chills you to the bone
hoist the mainsail
watch her fly through the air
head out for the landmark
with the spiral stair
who steers this wheel of fortune?
whose turn to dare and throw the dice?
as the wind around you whispers
between the song, between the light - i'm waiting
out here alone
i hear the sound of the voice of the unknown
out here alone
the darkness chills you to the bone
hoist the mainsail
let the wind take the flight
head around the landmark
with the brilliant light
hoist the mainsail
as you fly on thin air
yes, head around the landmark
with the spiral stair
INSTRUMENTAL
out here alone
i hear the sound of the voice of the unknown
out here alone
the ebbing tide won't take you home
