She showed up at the dock wearing boat shoes and a bottle of rye
She was aware of the storm started laughing at the big old sky
Don't sail out in these winds we pleaded and worried as she stood at the mast
I've played it safe my whole life now it's time to get thrashed
Those clouds are calling my name don't you hear them
I've tied enough knots to know that no one's ever safe
When I pull up these sails I'm gonna aim 'em so the winds hit 'em right in the eye
And then if make it watch me fly
And if I make it I will fly
Rain started beating town folk meeting no one could persuade her to stay
Her hair was flying green eyes shining she hoisted boat started to sway
The sail was flapping the worst almost happened
Then she turned the angle toward me
The boat stabilized the wind hit the eye she was free
Those clouds are calling my name don't you hear them
I've tied enough knots to know that no one's ever safe
When I pull up these sails I'm gonna aim 'em so the winds hit 'em right in the eye
And then if make it watch me fly
And if I make it I will fly
Thought she was gone we were damn wrong she returned on a raft
Sail busted I heard her say but I stayed on until I crashed
Now Stop your gaping I'm not breaking I had a blast I'm not dead
Just take my hand and lead me to my bed
Waves rain salt hail
When will mine sail
Wind comes surges by
Someday we'll all fly
We'll all fly away
Those clouds are calling my name don't you hear them
I've tied enough knots to know that no one's ever safe
When I pull up these sails I'm gonna aim 'em so the winds hit 'em right in the eye
And then when I make it watch me fly
And when I make it I will fly
And when I make it I will fly
