Ship of Fools Songtext

von Doves

To the north my medicine
To my east the burning sun
I set sail on the ship of fools

The south she waits
But I can't go there again
I'm bound west on the ship of fools

All your love
And all your hope
All your joy
And sense of wonder

Keep it near
Keep it safe
Don't let it steal it from you
All the dreams
And all the pressure
Never let it send you under
Don't let it send you under

All the gold
All that way
Could never buy trust so long
For its price
Its not the same
So I keep my eyes so far

All the people
All the work
All the money
And all the hurt

To the north my medicine
To my east the burning sun
I set sail on the ship that's doomed

The south she waits
But I can't go there again
I'm bound west on the ship of fools

All your love
And all your hope
All your joy
And sense of Wonder

All the dreams
And all the pressure
Never let it send you under
Never let it send you under

The ocean awaits
It calls me again
But I'm bound to a ship of fools
