Lyrics

Elinor

I can't remember when I ever felt this free
I got no reason to go back to how I used to be
I'm in my ocean boat and skies are clear ahead
And in your eyes I see the fairy tales I never read

Now I have found what I came to find
And I am making for to leave these city lights behind
Your face will launch a thousand ships without a word
And in your voice there is a calling I have never heard

Elinor, when I hold your loving hands
Elinor, I am gone to foreign lands
Elinor, I will sail to any shore, I will rise to any war
Elinor, to be yours

I'll be your prince and I'll protect you well
And I will lead you through high waters and the depths of hell
And we will come to an island of our own
And in my soul you'll have a place that no one's ever known

Elinor . . .

And in ten thousand years when Homer's day is through
In songs and legends they will tell the tales of me and you
Of how we lived and how we never did grow old
And we will be the greatest story that was ever told

Elinor . . .
