There are ships on the horizon
Bringing solace to your thoughts
As the masts are slowly rising
You think of all the scars you've got
And as new life draws near, you stop and think of it
Is it really what you want?
Feel a twinge of fear as you stop and think of
You light the fires in your soul
Hoping the boats will see the smoke
This small island has made you whole
You want to hide but then you don't
And as new life draws near, you stop and think of it
Is it really what you want?
Feel a twinge of fear as you stop and think of
The things you used to know
The loves you had and lost
You've been to paradise
But wondered at the cost
It's been three years and now you're finally going home
An outcast, a dead man
Just one of the unknown
Looking back you see the shore
Palm trees swaying in the breeze
Yeah, you had everything and more
Now two worlds you're stuck between
And when the sailors ask, you just can't answer them
You've forgotten how to speak
The cabin bed's a casket when you think of
S.O.S
The things you used to know
The loves you had and lost
You've been to paradise
But wondered at the cost
The water is warm here overboard, you're going home
An outcast, a dead man
Just one of the unknown
