Oh end this day show me the ocean
  When shall I see the sea
  
  May this day set me in emotion
  I ought to be on my way
  
  We were there
  We were sailing on the Terra Nova
  Sailing for the setting sun
  Sailing for the new horizon
  
  May this day show me an ocean
  I ought to be on my way
  
  Ought to be on my way right now
  Stepping on the boat
  With a lump in my throat
  On my way right now
  
  I got a letter from a dear friend of mine
  The story of a spiritual awakening
  She spoke of her love
  Returning in kind
  She let me know that
  She'd be waiting
  
  And I should be on my way by now
  Walking across the floor
  Reaching for the door
  On my way by now
  
  But here I sit country fool that I am
  My elbow on my knee
  And my chin in my hand
  My mind in the gutter
  And my eye on the street
  Holed up in a cave of concrete
  
  And I ought to be on my way right now
  Packing my things
  While the telephone rings
  On my way right now
  
  I miss my lovely mother
  And I love my lonely father
  I know I owe my brothers
  One thing and another
  I hear my sister singing
  
  And I ought to be on my way right now
  Moving across the land
  With my heart in my hand
  On my way by now
  Ought to be on my way by now
  
  Oh end this day set me in motion
  Ought to be on my way
  
  Out of the west of Lambert's Cove
  There's a sail out in the sun
  And I'm on board though very small
  I've come home to stop yearning
  
  Burn off the haze around the shore
  Turn off the crazy way I feel
  I'll stay away from you no more
  I've come home to stop yearning
