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

And you can't even feel alright

So, I dream of Columbus

Every time 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 mermaids gently sleep

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 alright

So, you dream of Columbus

Every time the panic starts

You dream of Columbus

With your maps and your beautiful charts

You dream of Columbus

And as the tide must ebb and flow

I am dragged down under

And I wait the livelong day

For an end to my hunger

So I dream of Columbus

Every time the panic starts

I dream of Columbus

With my maps and my beautiful charts

I dream of Columbus

And there's peace in this traveling heart

Dream of Columbus

I dream of Columbus

Dream of Columbus

Dream of Columbus

Dream of Colum...
