The Long Faces
Sail Away
Trace your name on the windowpane
As though light would flood the brain
Well I saw that man
Just wailing in the rain
What a soothing sound he makes
If I can
I will simulate heartache

See old friends from time to time
Says a cautionary portion of your mind
And I caught that strand
And flayed it through the spine
So the good things don’t come right
You will find
That strange look in your eye
When your thought is undefiled

Seeking out the waterways
With an urge to sail away
Seeking out the waterways
With an urge to sail away
Seeking out the waterways
With an urge to sail away

Sail away
Sail away
With an urge to sail away
With an urge to sail away
Sail away
With an urge to sail away
