Palinurus (Castaway) (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
Oh I'm looking for a white note*[00:00:26]
To consolidate the key [00:00:31]
Like the pilot of a night boat[00:00:36]
In a strange uncharted sea:[00:00:40]
Palinurus [00:00:45]
As unsure as he can be of his direction [00:00:46]
Hell this section's all Greek to me [00:00:54]
There's so much I had to mention[00:00:59]
But it seems to slip my mind;[00:01:03]
Still I swear that my intentions[00:01:07]
Never left my hopes behind[00:01:10]
Like the captain who's been trapped[00:01:14]
In the blind eye of the whirlwind [00:01:17]
So he turns in search of the divine [00:01:23]
I've got no answers either [00:01:29]
I've got some stories on lucky days [00:01:32]
All the sea-lanes are crowded with people like us:[00:01:36]
Castaways [00:01:49]
From soprano through to basso[00:02:41]
My voice so strains to tell [00:02:45]
But I'm lost in the Sargasso[00:02:49]
Of ideas that didn't gel by a fraction [00:02:52]
So the action is dispelled [00:02:58]
Me I've got dull reactions [00:03:02]
Protraction of doubt as well [00:03:06]
So it's no more abide with me [00:03:10]
Over the side with me [00:03:12]
Well I know that damn well [00:03:14]
Oh this hump-back of emotion [00:03:18]
It all seems to go so fast:[00:03:23]
One moment Prince of the Ocean[00:03:29]
And the next upon the raft[00:03:34]
