Tryin' to get myself ashore

Listenin' to the strangest stories
Wondering where it all went wrong
For so long, for so long

So hold on hold on hold on

I've been dreaming of a new tomorrow
And wakin' in the morning sun
For so long, for so long

There's no time for revolution
I've got to be travellin' on
Here so long, for so long
