The farmhouse is burning down and you laugh
The wolves in the hills will have their way
The little boys, out in the yard, are waving me

This boat has left, gone away
This boat has left, gone away

The hazy weather is back on the shore
And I will leave these walls behind
It can't be love, 'cause there is no true love
It can't be love, 'cause there is no true love

Captain Ahab, tell me a story about the sea
Tell me how it all ends
(He said) in time sometime, when the rain stops
(He said) in time sometime, when the rain stops

This boat has left, gone away
This boat has left, gone away
