Out on the sand
Face turning red
Won't you get up, won't you raise up your head
She'd swim to the centre of the sun
Sister, my sister what have you done
Warm golden light
Bleaching your braids
Maybe you should spend some time in the shade
She'd swim to the centre of the sun
Sister, my sister what have you done
The glow of the west such a beautiful sight
I'll see you again when the day takes the night
The story of a girl who loved the sun
Sister, my sister what have you done
She'd swim to the centre of the sun
Sister, my sister what have you done
The story of a girl who loved the sun
Sister, my sister what have you done

Sailing

I've been sailing
Down the coast of Mexico
I've been sailing
Got no place else to go
Been up all night with the bright moonlight
Leading my on way
Too late to fight, no land in sight
The tide's swept me astray.
I've been sailing
My whole life away
Looking out for you.
I've been sailing
Over the ocean blue
I've been sailing
I got nothing left to do
Been watching these waves for days and days
Lookin' out for a sign
Lost in the haze I sit and gaze
Waiting for you to be mine.
I've been sailing
My whole life away
Looking out for you.

I'm always on my best behaviour
I've perfected my smile and nod
I know when to laugh and when to applaud.
I am nothing but potential
I could show a waiting world
A gesture of indifference
Or a fist so tightly curled.
To wake up
To wonder whats in store
Through tedium, through black and blue
Through all the things I ought to be
To wake up
To step outside the door
Armed with my smile, the folks I knew
The things my father taught me
I'll join the ranks of hourly wagers
Once I get my big degree,
I'll provide, I'll wear a tie
But will I still remember me?
