I’m hopelessly searching for the shore
All I see is a sea of black and blue
Of tall houses with views
But in each window I look
Look for someone looking out at me
And in none do I find him
In none do they look.

All I see is the green
Like my soul calling me to thee
I feel a presence I see an image
In my mind’s eye
But when I arrive
I’m chasing a mirage and meeting him
Is a far cry

All I do is chase
Chase a dream of a man in black
Of someone calling me from the back
Of me turning to see
See a man standing at the top of the hill
Waiting and this time I move forward
I find my shore I keep swimming
And I don’t look back.

But when I near it there is that same hill
That same green and the same sea
and the same me.
Yet no man in black nor any colour of the rainbow stands
No man is reaching out with their hand
Trying to pull me to land.

Maybe it’s all just a dream there’s no one looking,
Searching, waiting to see if I’m back
It doesn’t work that way, all I got is the dream and a feeling
A feeling that lingers
Pushes me to him
But when I go back yet again
There’s no sign of him.

It’s hopeless I cannot compete
With the fates that have tied me to this stream
Nor here nor there do I belong,
No man can claim me as his
No land can call me its owner
I’m just a lost lass at sea
And sometimes I see
Someone in a fair distance
I reach and he vanishes further
Further than I can see.
