Columbus

Better keep your distance from this whale
 Better keep your boat from going astray
 Find yourself a partner and treat them well
 Try to give them shelter night and day
 Cause here in this blue light
 Far away from the fireside
 Things can get twisted, and crazy, and crowded
 You can't even feel right
 So you dream of Columbus
 Every time that the panic starts
 You dream of Columbus
 With your maps, and your beautiful charts
 You dream of Columbus
 With an ache in your traveling heart
 See how the cormorant swoops and dives
 Must be some thrill to go that deep
 Down to the basement of this life
 Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps
 Not like here in this blue light
 Far away from the fireside
 Where things can get twisted, and haunted, and crowded
 You can't even feel all right
 So you dream of Columbus
 Every time that the panic starts
 You dream of Columbus
 With your maps, and your beautiful charts
 You dream of Columbus
 With an ache in your traveling heart
 And as tide must ebb and flow
 I am dragged down under
 And I wait the live long day
 For an end to my hunger
 So I dream of Columbus
 Every time that the panic starts
 I dream of Columbus
 With my maps, and my beautiful charts
 I dream of Columbus
 And there's peace in a traveling heart
 Dream of Columbus
