00:00Now let's count this in together, a one, a two, a one, two, three, four.
00:20I awoke in the dust of an autumn morning
00:27Faces oiled and kneeling round the family chairs
00:33I never knew that a heart could take such failing
00:41Oh, space is everywhere
00:45Let's see your hands up, hands up
00:48And the ship comes round
00:52And she's waiting at the harbor
00:55Be prepared to get on board
00:59Be prepared
01:02I never knew that the night of ages
01:07Breaks away before us
01:10Sail away, sail away
01:16All the front doors
01:19And the man came walking
01:23Suits and shoes, heads of silver and gray
01:30It's one short row from the darkened cradle
01:39To the endless light of day
01:45And the ship comes round
01:49And she's waiting at the harbor
01:53Be prepared to get on board
01:57Be prepared
02:00I never knew that the night of ages
02:05Breaks away before us
02:08Sail away, sail away
02:14Sail
02:19Sail
02:30I'm used to the trodden path
02:35In the evenings
02:38Forty cramps and stress run wild
02:44The storms, the drownings, the tables, the drinking
02:53Oh, the sea and paradise
02:59There's peace forth rising
03:03From the village to me
03:07You take your chances
03:09With the red-haired girl
03:14All the boats take their rest
03:17In the hands of the harbor
03:23All at night and at two in the morning
03:30And the ship comes round
03:34And she's waiting at the harbor
03:37Be prepared to get on board
03:41Be prepared
03:44I never knew that the night of ages
03:50Breaks away before us
03:53Sail away, sail away
03:59Sail
04:07Sail
04:29Get on board
04:31As the ship comes round
04:34When the ship comes round
04:37When the ship comes round
