The Legendary Pink Dots
On Another Shore
All these years I waited
'Cause I knew that you'd return
No stranger's hand has touched this temple
One candle slowly burned...
For you
(Were you waiting too?)
For you...just for you
I swear I heard you crying
On the cruel uncanny breeze
I saw you crawling down there
On your bleeding hands and knees
Now crawl right up to me
My captain
The good ship sails away forever..
Leave us be
The good ship sails away forever
The way it's meant to be
The good ship sails away forever..
Leave us be
The good ship sails away forever
The way it's meant to be
These were the gentle words she said
I could not find her in my head
I searched for little clues
But all the lights were glowing red
And in the end I smiled politely
Snatched my coat and fled
From you
Just from you
Just from you
But still I hear her crying
On the cruel uncanny breeze
I see her crawling down there
On her bleeding hands and knees
Come to me!
Come to me!
The good ship sails away forever
Was never meant to be
