[Part I: Up Ahead]
[Verse 1]
Passage assured
On the good ship Goodbye...
Dare I raise up my eyes
To stare into the rigging?
[Chorus]
(Preparing to go home...)
[Verse 2]
All we could have done
We're at pains to explain
But all our might in the main
Is only empty promise
Unfulfilled at last
Still no-one can be blamed
For breaking daily bread
Thinking ahead
[Chorus]
(Preparing to go home...)
(Preparing to come home...)
[Verse 3]
Blessed with strange grace
And reluctant to face
Ineluctable fate
I say I saw the future
I said forget the past
But I'll not hear the last
Of lives I've never led
Thinking ahead
[Verse 1]
Passage assured
On the good ship Goodbye...
Dare I raise up my eyes
To stare into the rigging?
[Chorus]
(Preparing to go home...)
[Verse 2]
All we could have done
We're at pains to explain
But all our might in the main
Is only empty promise
Unfulfilled at last
Still no-one can be blamed
For breaking daily bread
Thinking ahead
[Chorus]
(Preparing to go home...)
(Preparing to come home...)
[Verse 3]
Blessed with strange grace
And reluctant to face
Ineluctable fate
I say I saw the future
I said forget the past
But I'll not hear the last
Of lives I've never led
Thinking ahead
