You are sailing the seas to the end of the world
To find out the truth of the stories you’ve heard.
Far out at sea in the dead of the night,
There is always one star, a pin-prick of light
And it shines like silver, it burns like gold
Like a promise that you’ve given or a secret that you hold
And it shines like silver, it burns like gold
Like a promise that you’ve given or a secret that you hold
Whether stumbling in darkness or half-blinded by the sun,
You keep heading onward from the place you’d begun
Though the waters ran forever, with waves on either hand
You never lost hope of sighting land.
That would shine like silver, would burn like gold
Like a promise that you’ve given or a secret that you hold
That would shine like silver, would burn like gold
Like a promise that you’ve given or a secret that you hold
Oh, the world turns so slowly, each day eternity
But you’ve never changed course and I’m waiting patiently.
No matter how the seas rose, how hard the wind had blown
From the day you set sail, you were always heading home.
To this land of silver, this land of gold
The promise you were given, the secret that you hold
To this land of silver, this land of gold
The promise you were given, the secret that you hold
In your heart……
In your heart……
In your heart……
Wow! Got here via several mentions in the Big Big Train FB group. Glad I made the trip. I remember being equal parts intrigued and puzzled by Kate Bush on first exposure and this so much brings to mind the drama and theatricality mixed with great talent that made me a fan of Kate Bush. I can say that I am now a fan of Beatrix Players. lanwanman1956
