Escaping Dreams Pray Far From The Boat

(Robert James)

 

Beyond politics life slows on and on
Little known warriors try to feed and clothe their families
Now Suzannah sails to the largest island so far away
She's surrounded by horizon but nothing more to say

Among the choir of memories untouchable
Escaping dreams they pray so far from the crowd
On the edge of forever there is such a restless sleep
But escaping dreams they pray so far, pray so far from the boat

Oh, she can hear the cries
Then this deathly silence as another one dies
She lays down her head in her sleeping baby's arms
And as the sun goes down, the sea and the sky become one

Among the choir of memories untouchable
Escaping dreams they pray so far from the crowd
On the edge of forever there is such a restless sleep
But escaping dreams they pray so far,
Pray so far from the boat…
