there’s a wave 
but it won’t carry your load south 
there’s a ship 
but it ain’t seaworthy nor sound 
there’s a drift 
drifting by and drifting on 
heading for 
what you had planned but did not come 

the more it’s discussed 
the more certain i am 
and that is a fact 
so this is my plan 
i’ll never strike this sail again
