I sailed away for a thousand years
Searching for reasons to know
So many times I've let my fears
Distract my soul from where I have to go
Oceans have rocked this little boat
Often too hard but still it goes
After the storm I only know
How far a distance I must go
I've heard the sound of distant ships in my life
All clouds around
I hear them call my name at night time
Familiar choir echoes afar
Draws me far away from shorelines
To a place I long to know
Caressing the wind brush back my hair
Distant shapes keep me awake
Scents of flowers in the air
Evoke lost memories of a lake
In waves she dances
Playing passing close by
The green of her eyes
Reminds me of a distant lifetime
I know I've seen this face before
Her voice invites what's left of my life
To the land of evermore
No more frontiers will ever stand between us
Let go of my fear
And let my soul fall in the ocean
As every dolphin rules the sea
Hand in hand we'll sail forever
To where we were meant to be
In the morning they came aboard
They only found this little note
Please tell them all I love them so
But I really had to go...
It's a shame more people are not familiar with the band and their beautiful music...they are missing so much...this song is perfect the way it is and I will continue to listen to the haunting music and lyrics. Never tire of it.
It´s almost crime, a band like Mystery, one of my favorites, has so few visibility. They deserve to be at the top of this music genre, not merely in the list of few connoisseurs. I also believe they need to tour a lot more.
Probably my favorite Mystery melody. But one among many faves.
"Reminds me of a distant lifetime" - Michel writes great melodies and lyrics. Benoit David at his best.
