The Long Voyage Lyrics by Hector Zazou

Chansons des mers froides / Songs From the Cold Seas

0

[Pre-Chorus: Suzanne Vega, John Cale]
Ocean, ocean is a voyage
This is a voyage
Ocean is a voyage
This is a voyage
A long, long voyage
[Chorus: Suzanne Vega & John Cale]
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
[Verse 1: Suzanne Vega]
The sea is flecked with bars of grey
The dull dead wind is out of tune
And like a withered leaf the moon
Is blown across the stormy bay
[Chorus: Suzanne Vega & John Cale]
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
[Verse 2: Suzanne Vega]
Etched clear upon the pallid sand
Lies the black boat: a sailor boy
Clambers aboard in careless joy
With laughing face and gleaming hand
And overhead the curlews cry
[Pre-Chorus: Suzanne Vega, John Cale]
Don't lose the voyage
This is a voyage
Don't lose the voyage
This is a voyage
A long, long voyage
[Chorus: Suzanne Vega & John Cale]
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Suzanne Vega & John Cale]
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
[Verse 3: Suzanne Vega]
And overhead the curlews cry
Where through the dusky upland grass
The young brown-throated reapers pass
Like silhouettes against the sky
[Chorus: Suzanne Vega & John Cale, Suzanne Vega]
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
Like silhouettes against the sky
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
Like silhouettes against the sky
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
Going up, up, up
Going down, down, down
[Outro: John Cale]
This is a voyage
A long, long voyage
This is a voyage
This is a voyage
A long, long, long voyage
This is a voyage
A violent voyage
A long, long voyage
This is a voyage
As far as the eye can see, a voyage
A long, long voyage
This is a voyage
As far as the eye can see, a voyage
A violent voyage
As far as the eye can see, a voyage
