Forevermore
My course set on Forevermore I haul against the wheel,

                         Forevermore




                             Upon eternal seas I sail,
                             the Captain of my dreams.
                             I'm guided
                             by the moon and stars,
                             the songs that sigh on swirling streams.

                             My course set on Forevermore
                             I haul against the wheel,
                             the storms I fight,
                             the spray I savor,
                             I'm steered by restless rudder and keel.

                             The sun warms this weathered face,
                             washed cleaner by the rain.
                             My company,
                             the birds at sea
                             that sing their solemn, sad refrain.

                             A scent of lotus on the air
                             foretells I'm coming near;
                             no sight of land,
                             but Paradise
                             beyond the next frontier.

                             My cruise will (someday) run its course;
                             my ship will come to shore.
                             I'll find you waiting
                             there for me
                             at home, Forevermore.
