On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world it's changing

Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well

Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting

I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown
I built this ship - it is my making
And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore

I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools

Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground

Who claims that no man is an island

While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me

I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools

Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --
