Your Tall Ship Peter Hammill

[Verse 1]
Far, so far away...
Surely you remember
Log book pages frayed
That fanned the flames of long ago
Guttered in the grate
Shadows in the embers...

[Refrain]
Look away, look for home

[Verse 2]
Voices on the air
Running with the current;
Wind and tide set fair
Ship to shore the message goes
All in love is fair –
Across the raging torrent
Sail away, sail for home;

[Refrain]
Look away, look for home

[Bridge]
Land-locked lovers, landlub friends, in procession:
All rites of passage have an end
Look away, sail away
Sail your tall ship home
