Sailing Solo - Beautiful South
Imagine sailing solo
around the world
Only to find you've missed
a continent out
And as your happy turns choppy
and tidal wave swirls
You're wondering why
there's no one about
At least Captain Scott
actually stood on the spot
Where he planned to
put up Union Jack
And though Captain Cook
cursed the map that he took
He got near enough
for native's attack
That's how it feels
trying to navigate you
Even with compass and
infinite time
Just when I think
I've found some part
that's new
I find a flag already up
that's not mine
Circling you is
journey minus view
Exploration without
reason or reward
'Cause when I get near
you use an arrow or spear
To prevent my heart
ever being shored
The earth ain't flat but
it's a simple doormat
Compared to your
unclimbable self
The desolate terrain
you have to cross to your brain
Just one of your slippery shelves
That's how it feels
trying to navigate you
Even with compass and
infinite time
Just when I think
I've found some part that's new
I find a flag already up
that's not mine
And if I ever get close
I'll need a banner or post
To hang it from
first there or not
So voyage may uncover
a sister or brother
And a friendship that
Colombus forgot
