Lyrics
0:05Oh end this day show me the ocean
0:12When shall I see the sea
0:18May this day set me in emotion
0:24I ought to be on my way
0:30We were there
0:32We were sailing on the Terra Nova
0:40Sailing for the setting sun
0:45Sailing for the new horizon
0:55May this day show me an ocean
1:00I ought to be on my way
1:06Ought to be on my way right now
1:12Stepping on the boat
1:14With a lump in my throat
1:17On my way right now
1:23I got a letter from a dear friend of mine
1:28The story of a spiritual awakening
1:34She spoke of her love
1:36Returning in kind
1:39She let me know that
1:41She'd be waiting
1:43And I should be on my way by now
1:50Walking across the floor
1:52Reaching for the door
1:55On my way by now
2:01But here I sit country fool that I am
2:06My elbow on my knee
2:08And my chin in my hand
2:12My mind in the gutter
2:13And my eye on the street
2:17Holed up in a cave of concrete
2:21And I ought to be on my way right now
2:27Packing my things
2:29While the telephone rings
2:32On my way right now
2:39I miss my lovely mother
2:43And I love my lonely father
2:50I know I owe my brothers
2:53One thing and another
2:56I hear my sister singing
2:59And I ought to be on my way right now
3:05Moving across the land
3:07With my heart in my hand
3:10On my way by now
3:15Ought to be on my way by now
3:20Oh end this day set me in motion
3:27Ought to be on my way
3:40Out of the west of Lambert's Cove
3:44There's a sail out in the sun
3:49And I'm on board though very small
3:54I've come home to stop yearning
4:01Burn off the haze around the shore
4:06Turn off the crazy way I feel
4:11I'll stay away from you no more
4:16I've come home to stop yearning
Oh end this day show me the ocean When shall I see the sea May this day set me in emotion I ought to be on my way We were there We were sailing on the Terra Nova Sailing for the setting sun Sailing for the new horizon May this day show me an ocean I ought to be on my way Ought to be on my way right now Stepping on the boat With a lump in my throat On my way right now I got a letter from a dear friend of mine The story of a spiritual awakening She spoke of her love Returning in kind She let me know that She'd be waiting And I should be on my way by now Walking across the floor Reaching for the door On my way by now But here I sit country fool that I am My elbow on my knee And my chin in my hand My mind in the gutter And my eye on the street Holed up in a cave of concrete And I ought to be on my way right now Packing my things While the telephone rings On my way right now I miss my lovely mother And I love my lonely father I know I owe my brothers One thing and another I hear my sister singing And I ought to be on my way right now Moving across the land With my heart in my hand On my way by now Ought to be on my way by now Oh end this day set me in motion Ought to be on my way Out of the west of Lambert's Cove There's a sail out in the sun And I'm on board though very small I've come home to stop yearning Burn off the haze around the shore Turn off the crazy way I feel I'll stay away from you no more I've come home to stop yearning
