lyrics
First, the autumn leaves (falling, falling)
then the memories (calling, calling)
tell me, my friend, do you not fear the roiling sea?
do you revel in thunder that sends the mountains quivering?
all fades quietly (dreaming, dreaming)
nightmares startle me (screaming, screaming)
i am a wisp of a cloud on the westerly gale
i am a sailor alone in a hurricane, foundering
you offer me shelter but you cannot keep me hale
no harbour nor haven but only the leeward boundary
come to me young traveler and i'll show
your manuals and charts prove profitless here
morning comes, i wish you safe passage where'er you go
i beg of you, recall what you've seen here
wind through autumn leaves (sighing, sighing)
then the winter's freeze (dying, dying)
tell me, my friend, do you not fear the roiling sea?
(thunder sends the mountains quivering)
tell me, my friend, do you not fear the roiling sea?
(lightning rends the tall trees splintering)
tell me, my friend, do you not fear the roiling sea?
