Terra Nova - Lyrics - James Taylor

Oh in this day Show me the ocean When shall i see the sea? May this day Set me in motion I ought to be on my way We were there We were sailing on the Terra Nova Sailing for the setting sun Sailing for the new horizon May this day Show me an ocean I ought to be on my way Ought to be on my way right now Stepping on the boat With a lump in my throat On my way right now I got a letter from a dear friend of mine Story of a spirits well awakening She spoke of her love returning in time She let me know that she'd be waiting I should be on my way by now Walking cross the floor Reaching for the door On my way by now But here I sit Country fool that I am Elbow on my knee And my chin in my hand My mind in the gutter And my eye on the street Whole up in a cave of concrete And I ought to be on my way right now Packin' my things While the telephone rings On my way right now I miss my lovely mother And i love my lonely father I know I owe my brothers One thing and another I hear my sister singing I ought to be on my way right now Moving cross the land With my heart in my hand On my way By now Ought to be on my way by now Oh in this day Set me in motion Ought to be on my way
