No need to listen close to hear my heart pounding
Through my pillow it resounds like a shotgun blast in an empty town
These sheets hold me hostage for being a product of my surroundings

Tonight’s alive with the breath of life and my eyes are open wide
But my northern star is fading fast and might not make it through the night
In all my years out at sea I’ve never lost my guide
But winds of change form the biggest waves and I’m sure I’ll capsize
