white whale Lyrics
I hunt for the white whale
I’m always only miles away
Lightweight, only some white veil
All in tune to be run on faith
Maybe monomania
Or mainly all I’ve ever done
All ways only miles away
When I hunt for the white whale
Now that the water is clear
Can you see it, then?
Now that the water is near
Can you tell who’s left?
Was it for the best...?
Holystone all you own, all you hope, all you’ve ever known
If there’s no shade below those castles in the sky..
I hunt for the white whale
I’m always only miles away
Lightweight, only some white veil
All in tune to be run on faith
Maybe monomania
Or mainly all I’ve ever done
All ways only miles away
When I hunt for the white whale
Now that the water is still
No wake on the past (...?)
Now that the hour is near
Was it for the best...?
Night unfolds all you harbour
Oh heigh-ho, old untethered hope
In some way maybe casting anchor is sinking down
Beneath the waves the wreck of many
There’s no shade below those castles in the sky
Or anywhere...
I hunt for the white whale
I’m always only miles away
Lightweight, only some white veil
All in tune to be run on faith
Maybe monomania
Mainly all I’ve ever done
All ways only miles away
When I hunt for the white whale
