Gerry Rafferty - The Ark LYRICS

See the dark night has come down on us

The world is livin' in its dream

But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep

And set out on the journey

Find a ship to take us on the way.



The time has come to trust that guiding light

And leavin' all the rest behind

We'll take the road that leads down to the waterside

And set out on the journey

Find a ship to take us on the way.



And we'll sail out on the water

Yes we'll feel the sea grow

Yes we'll meet out on the water

Where are all strangers are known.



If you travel blindly, if you fall

The truth is there to set you free

And when your heart can see just one thing in this life

We'll set out on the journey

Find a ship to take us on the way.



And we'll sail out on the water

Yes we'll feel the sea grow

Yes we'll meet out on the water

Where are all strangers are known.



See the dark night has come down on us

The world is livin' in its dream

But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep

And set out on the journey

Find a ship to take us on the way.



And we'll sail out on the water

Yes we'll feel the sea grow

Yes we'll meet out on the water

Where are all strangers are known.
