Lyrics

The Wayfinder-lyrics

He knows the sky like the contours of her face
He knows this view of the heavens
There was a time when she was understood
When the moon could bring a man home

The taste of goodbye hangs in the air
Wide ocean calling, he?s leaving again

Chorus:
Like the moon and the stars I?ll see you again
We find the unknown from a place we have been
Like the wayfinder, you?ll journey home again

No compass, no charts, no sextant
With angles in time he steers his way
He takes back his bearings and looks over the stern
To that one star that anchors the way

Knowing the ocean sings him to sleep
It?s harder to be left, than to leave

Chorus

The only way to know I?m my own safe harbour
Is to turn toward the sea
Moving toward the horizon
The imaginary line recedes
The loneliness lifts to the surface
And comes calling to me

Chorus

Point your ship in the right direction
Let that land come to you
Point your sail toward declination
Let that star come to you


Chorus

You?ll journey home
You?ll journey home
You?ll journey home again
