The Albatross Lyrics by Rickie Lee Jones

The Albatross Lyrics

    There, there is my ship
    Finally come in
    I see the mast rolling on the steps
    Over the garden wall
    I hear the sailor's call
    I see the albatross

    Over and down now I'll go home
    Home to my children I left behind
    Long ago with my mother the moon
    That's where my father is
    This broken heart is his

    Archipelago is turning, turning to strangers
    Here in the world, turning to strangers
    Oh, they hold on
    Here, here's where we live
    Here is a sea, my family
    We'll always be young as we've ever been
    Death will not part us again nearer to heaven than
    10,000 ancestors who dream of me
    Well I hear you dreaming of me
    Yeah sometimes, dream of me!
