Beautiful South – Sailing Solo Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 7 Second

Imagine sailing solo around the world
Only to find youve missed a continent out
And as your happy turns choppy and tidal wave swirls
Youre wondering why theres 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 natives attack

Thats how it feels trying to navigate you
Even with compass and infinite time
And just when I think Ive found some part thats new
I find a flag already up thats 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 aint flat but its a simple doormat
Compared to your unclimbable self
The desolate terrain, you have to cross to your brain
Just one of your slippery shelves

Thats how it feels trying to navigate you
Even with compass and infinite time
And just when I think Ive found some part thats new
I find a flag already up thats not mine

And if I ever get close, Ill 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
