Another New World - Josh Ritter[00:00:00]
The leading light of the age all wondered amongst[00:00:35]
Themselves what I would do next[00:00:38]
After all that I'd found in my travels around[00:00:42]
The world was there anything else left[00:00:46]
Gentlemen I said[00:00:50]
I've studied the maps[00:00:51]
And if what I'm thinking is right[00:00:53]
There's another new world at the top of the world[00:00:57]
For whoever can break through the ice[00:01:00]
I looked round the room[00:01:02]
In that way I once had[00:01:07]
And I saw that they wanted belief[00:01:08]
So I said[00:01:12]
All I've got are my guts and my God[00:01:13]
Then I pausedand[00:01:15]
The Annabelle lee[00:01:17]
Oh the Annabelle lee I saw their eyes shine[00:01:20]
The most beautiful ship in the sea[00:01:24]
My Nina my Pinta my Santa Maria[00:01:28]
My beautiful Annabelle lee[00:01:31]
That spring we set sail as the crowd waved from shore[00:01:52]
On board crew waved their hats[00:01:56]
But I never had family just the Annabelle lee[00:02:00]
So I didn't have 'cause to look back[00:02:03]
I just set the course north[00:02:08]
And I studied the charts[00:02:10]
And toward dark I drifted toward sleep[00:02:12]
And I dreamed of the fine deep harbor I'd find[00:02:17]
Past the ice for my Annabelle lee[00:02:20]
After that it got colder[00:02:23]
World got quiet[00:02:28]
It was never quite day or quite night[00:02:30]
And the sea turned the color of sky turned the color[00:02:35]
Sea turned the color of ice[00:02:38]
'Til at last all around us was fastness[00:02:42]
One vast glassy desert arsenic white[00:02:45]
And the waves that once lifted us[00:02:50]
Sifted instead into drifts against Annabelle's sides[00:02:52]
The crew gathered closer[00:02:56]
First for the comfort[00:03:01]
But each morning would bring a new set[00:03:03]
Tracks in the snow leading over the edge[00:03:07]
Of the world 'til I was the only one left[00:03:10]
And after that it gets cloudy[00:03:15]
It feels like I lay there[00:03:17]
For days maybe for months[00:03:19]
But Annabelle held me the two of us happy[00:03:23]
Just to think back on all we had done[00:03:27]
We talked of the other worlds we'd discover[00:04:06]
As she gave up her body to me[00:04:11]
And as I chopped up her mainsail for timber[00:04:15]
I told her of all that we still had to see[00:04:17]
As the frost turned her moorings to ninetail[00:04:23]
The wind lashed her sides in the cold[00:04:27]
I burned her to keep me alive every night[00:04:31]
In the lover's embrace of her hold[00:04:35]
And I won't call it rescue[00:04:37]
Brought me back here to[00:04:42]
The old world to drink and decline[00:04:45]
Pretend that the search for another new world[00:04:49]
Was well worth the burning of mine[00:04:52]
Sometimes at night[00:04:57]
In my dreams comes the singing[00:05:00]
Of some known tropical bird[00:05:02]
And I smile in my sleep[00:05:07]
Thinking Annabelle lee[00:05:09]
Has finally made it to another new world[00:05:10]
Has sometimes at night[00:05:15]
In my dreams comes the singing[00:05:18]
Of some known tropical bird[00:05:21]
And I smile in my sleep[00:05:25]
Thinking Annabelle lee[00:05:27]
Has finally made it to another new world[00:05:29]
