That Ship Has Sailed

from Black Light Ambience by Chris Nelson

/

lyrics

How many times have people told you that it’s easy just to turn around and make yourself over again?
No one seems to understand the feeling that you’re getting when you’re trying to play through the pain
It’s easier to watch than it is to do
All that they are saying turns out to be untrue
So, hold your head up high, keep on reaching upward toward the sky, whatever happens to you

That ship has sailed out of the bay
Looks like we’ve come to the end of the day
Once I had pride and time on my side, then suddenly, everything just slipped away
That ship is gone, gone today

So many choices that you’re facing and the odds of getting higher placing don seem to be going your way
Time will always tell you if you made the right decision, if you’re faltering, or if you going astray
Too many roads to travel, pathways that are made of gravel, they lead to nowhere, anyway
Blindly wander down the road you’re on while you’re looking for an exit sign so you can call it a day

That ship has sailed out of the bay
Looks like we’ve come to the end of the day
Once I had pride and time on my side, then suddenly, everything just slipped away
That ship is gone, gone today
