Tall Ships Lyrics

Do you remember how the sun beat from the sky

And how we ran there - who was faster you or I?

We jumped the sea wall, we couldn't wait to be the one

To make the first call and point the way to everyone

Did we stumble, did we fall onto our hands

Running circles round the statues in the sand

Blue horizon, through the furnace of the light

Sails came shining, our hearts exploded at the sight

Here come the tall ships

See the main sails make the driving wind their friend

Bows won't fail, gleaming sheets that have no end

No-one to tame us, every wave is cut to foam

No-one can claim us, this whole wide ocean is our home

We ran like the tall ships

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Here we stand looking up at the same sky

Tricked by time, who's more foolish you or I?

We can't return, there'll be no parting of the sea

What have we learned from all these driftwood memories

Of the

Where are you now? Somewhere on this spinning world

Let your eyelids down, let the warm breeze in your hair

Feel the calm, see the white lines of the shore

Reach out your palm and run with me once more

Won't you run with me once more

Won't you run with me once more?

We'll wave to the tall ships

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

We'll wave to the tall ships now
