Argosy

I watched the ships come in across the waves.
The Atlantic Ocean always seemed so far away.
I thought about my family back West.
And all the hopes that on a body can come to rest.

I could feel the eagerness in my chest...

In this land of roads and rivers,
I'll follow to the edge.
And though my spirit's wild and weathered,
I'll go until the end of the myth.

I watched the ships come in across the waves.
I thought about how much a body can take.
I could feel the sturdy heaving of my breast...

In this land of roads and rivers,
I'll follow to the edge.
And though my spirit's wild and weathered,
I'll go until the end of the myth.
