The Other Shore
Crazy now, my mind is turning
Ov'r the pages of my learning
Looking for a truth that won't be found
Lost now, the darkness binds us
Till the morning comes to find us
Ages older than the day before
Towards eternity we're sailing,
And in spite of my failings
Sometimes I can see the other shore
Spinning mad, my senses leave me
And I find they have deceived me
Left me tripping, reeling like a fool
In my heart a song is burning
And the sky above is twirling
To the distant music that I hear
Towards eternity we're sailing
And behind us we're trailing
Garlands of flowers in the wind
Towards eternity we're flying
Even though I'm scared of dying
Sometimes I can see the other shore
