THE MYSTERY SEA
We voyage on this vessel
As green as the kelp which waves silently below
Whist above you see
Visions of finches refracted in your golden timepiece
All aboard now
Wander free
We’re all sailing on the Mystery Sea
From distant harbours
Towards Destiny
We’re all sailing on the Mystery Sea
You draw furiously
Finned sketches of mermaids all calling you hither
As the Captain spots leopards
Who bark right at the snout of his dog while the crew all start singing
All aboard now
Wander free
We’re all sailing on the Mystery Sea
From distant harbours
Towards Destiny
We’re all sailing on the Mystery Sea
The Navigator looks lee wards
Among the angelfish and the reef lies a devil of detail
So you run for your notebooks in the mess
But the Saint has them frying
All aboard now
Wander free
We’re all sailing on the Mystery Sea
From distant harbours
Towards eternity
We’re all sailing on the Mystery Sea
