Away!

(album: The Man With Wooden Legs - 2009)

I've always been a stubborn one once I've decided which way I should go
But now it seems I have hit a cliff and I am staring at the water down below
I used to be much braver when I'd known the waves couldn't touch me on dry land
But I am never one to keep it to myself how wonderful I really am

I know that someone out there is a ship that's meant for me
But I see the water and my legs shake and I cant breathe or do a thing

I've looked upon the setting sun I've seen the ocean swallow it alive
I've witnessed creatures from below and I've watched as hardenerd sea men began to cry
The boats are in their docks but I can't seem to step on board and grab the wheel
I've thought it over in my mind so many times and every time I wake to find out it isn't real

I know that I've been trying for too long to get on board
But I can see everyone outside waving their arms and screaming their goodbyes

If I had to say
Id ask you to take it all away
I can no longer stay here
If I had my way
Id beg you to take it all away
I can longer be here
