Album: The Open Window

I still get up before the day breaks

And I still walk down to the shore


I watch the sun rise from the eastern ocean

But I don't sail to meet anymore

How could they have let this happen

We saw it coming years ago

The greedy ships kept getting bigger and bigger

And the sonar told them where to go



(Chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I was sailing

Out on the Sea of Galilee

We cast our nets upon the waters

And Jesus pulled them in with me



Where am I gonna go now

What about this boat I own

What about this old piano

What about my father's bones



(Chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I was sailing

Out on the Sea of Galilee

We cast our nets upon the waters

And Jesus pulled them in with me (yes he did)



Someone sang an old sea shanty

And Nealy told a mainland joke

Kelly cursed and swore until his voice gave out

And then he asked me for a smoke

And then he took his father's shotgun

Walked to the harbour, through the town

He fired fourteen times, woke everyone up

And we all watched that boat go down



(Chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I was sailing

Out on the Sea of Galilee

We cast our nets upon the waters

And Jesus pulled them in with me



(Chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I was sailing

Out on the Sea of Galilee

We cast our nets upon the waters

And Jesus pulled them in with me

Oh yeah he pulled them in with me

Pulled, he pulled them in with me

Pulled, yeah he pulled them in with me

Pulled, yeah he pulled them in with me

Pulled



Last night I dreamed that I was sailing

Out on the Sea of Galilee

Last night I dreamed that I was sailing

Out on the Sea of Galilee



I still get up before the day breaks

And I still walk down to the shore

I watch the sun rise from the eastern ocean

But I don't sail to meet anymore
