The Jaded Sea






[1st v:]





As you set your sails
You look out
Upon the jaded sea
Wondering....





Was it what
Was it you




Just what was it
That failed





No need to keep filling the cup
The wine has soured
Nothing more
Just ever
Ever
Seems to measure up




Watch the dial
The sun will set
Contemplate again
Just for awhile





[1st ch:]





Once..... things seemed nice
Then too much effort
Ruled the way
Forever
Throwing the dice





Once again
You learned with time




Hopes and dreams
Fashion a sense of beauty
But what cuts in deep
Is the brutal reality




Ready yourself forever what will be
To ride the raging storms
Always looking forward
To the short but tranquil
Ride on
The jaded sea





Come what may
Not too much
Of the fragile
Currents that drain upon
The night and day





Sail away and be
Toss the worries
Turn away from the pain
Figure it all out
Riding on
The jaded sea





[2nd v:]





Listen well enough to hear
Vision out for a moment
What in the past
You most feared




Want to comfort
The forgotten heart




Emotions in line
Prepared never again
To be
Torn apart




Believe what you will
Believe ....
What you may





Guided past experience
Will carefully take you
Up that
Unknown hill





Turn to face the open sky
Look out
Upon the mysterious
Open sea





Leave plenty of room to venture on
And about
On through
The jaded sea





[2nd ch:]






Once.... things seemed nice
Then too much effort
Ruled the way
Forever
Throwing the dice





Once again
You learn with time





Hopes and dreams
Fashion a sense of beauty
But what cuts deep
Is the brutal reality





Ready yourself forever what will be
To ride the raging storms
Always looking forward
To the short but tranquil
Ride on
The jaded sea





Come what may
Not too much
On the fragile
Currents that drain upon
The night and day





Sail away and be
Toss the worries
Turn away from the pain
Figure it all out
Riding on
The jaded sea
