Gerry Rafferty
"The Ark"
See the dark night has come down on usThe world is livin' in its dreamBut now we know that we can wake up from this sleepAnd set out on the journeyFind a ship to take us on the way.
The time has come to trust that guiding lightAnd leavin' all the rest behindWe'll take the road that leads down to the watersideAnd set out on the journeyFind a ship to take us on the way.
And we'll sail out on the waterYes we'll feel the sea growYes we'll meet out on the waterWhere are all strangers are known.
If you travel blindly, if you fallThe truth is there to set you freeAnd when your heart can see just one thing in this lifeWe'll set out on the journeyFind a ship to take us on the way.
And we'll sail out on the waterYes we'll feel the sea growYes we'll meet out on the waterWhere are all strangers are known.
See the dark night has come down on usThe world is livin' in its dreamBut now we know that we can wake up from this sleepAnd set out on the journeyFind a ship to take us on the way.
And we'll sail out on the waterYes we'll feel the sea growYes we'll meet out on the waterWhere are all strangers are known.
