Oh, I'm looking for a white note
to consolidate the key,
like the pilot of a night boat
in a strange, uncharted sea:
Palinurus,
as unsure as he can be of his directionâ¦
hell, this section's all Greek to me.
There's so much I had to mention
but it seems to slip my mind;
still, I swear that my intentions
never left my hopes behind
like the captain who's been trapped
in the blind eye of the whirlwindâ¦
so he turns in search of the divine.
I've got no answers either,
I've got some stories on lucky daysâ¦
All the sea-lanes are crowded with people like us:
Castaways.
From soprano through to basso
my voice so strains to tell,
but I'm lost in the Sargasso
of ideas that didn't gel by a fraction,
so the action is dispelled.
Me, I've got dull reactions,
protraction of doubt as well,
so it's no more abide with me,
over the side with meâ¦
well, I know that damn wellâ¦
Oh, this hump-back of emotion,
it all seems to go so fast:
one moment Prince of the Ocean
and the next upon the raft.
