Passage assured on the good ship Goodbye dare I raise up my eyes to stare into the rigging? (Preparing to go/come home..) All we could have done we're at pains to explain but all our might in the main is only empty promise unfulfilled at last still no-one can be blamed for breaking daily bread, thinking ahead. Blessed with strange grace and reluctant to face ineluctable fate, I say I saw the future I said forget the past but I'll not hear the last of lives I've never led, thinking ahead.
