What you gonna hold against her now? Would you rather work to sing her praises? Working from the stump right up to the bow Learning how to find her secret places What you gonna say as they shut their eyes? Yearning to remain in their good graces Will you smell the sea? Will you see the sky? Painted on their young and hopeful faces Something to believe, somewhere to be free The sanctuary and sea Blue, blue as the bluest of hues in the sea As she sails on by True, true like the truest of true Truest of true in her eyes as she waves goodbye Truest of true Bluest of blue How you gonna tell the story now? It's getting so much harder to cover faces Say it like it is or just feed them lies Cover up the truth with your oily phrases Something to believe, somewhere to be free The sanctuary and sea Blue, blue as the darkest of hues in the sea As you watch her cry True, true like the saddest of truth In her eyes as she says goodbye Truest of true Bluest of blue Blue, blue as the bluest of hues in the sea As she sails on by True, true like the truest of true In her eyes as she waves goodbye Truest of true Bluest of blue Truest of true Bluest of blue Bluest of blue
