Where do you go when the light is low

When your ship is sinking


When the storm explodes


When your heart it lingers

On one sad kiss


When the sun is red


Through the mist
I've sailed with "The Anne"


For twenty years

From the blue of the Indies


To the waters of Whales


Now she is swolen

Her sails are torn


The water is rising


Together we mourn
And the hounds of heaven rise


From their place by the fire

Theyre chasing me down


But it aint my time


Theyre chasing me down

But it aint my time

Strange how you see

Your life complete


In the few momentsbefore you greet


The force that made the ribbon of sky

That holds us up


In the darkest night
And the hounds of heaven rise


From their place by the fire


Theyre chasing me down

But it aint my time


Theyre chasing me down


But it aint my time
I am a seeker of fortune


I am an honest man

Im tied to my morals


By a steady hand


Ill bow my head

Into the sea


Let the waves


Wash over me
And the hounds of heaven rise

From their place by the fire


Theyre chasing me down

But it aint my time

Theyre chasing me down


But it aint my time
