It's a good day
For going to sea
Hanno the Navigator said to me
There's an open sky and a steady breeze
Out beyond the Pillars of Hercules
Above the foam-kissed waves seagulls scream
Up in the masts of our trireme
And it's a good day
For going to sea
Hanno the Navigator said to me
Water
Water
From horizon to horizon
All I see is water
Steer beyond all maps and charts
Down along the coast of Africa
The first Phoenicians on this beach
Where the monkeys gibber and the parakeets screech
Strangest women run wild down there
Covered head to toe in fur and hair
They fight like demons
Better let them be
