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 |
| Ever time the panic starts |
| You dream of Columbus |
| With your maps and your beautiful charts |
| You dream of Columbus |
| With an ache in your travelling 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 alright |
| And as 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 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 |
| I dream of Columbus |
