Taylor Batory - The Dream Lyrics

A crowded ship leaves the port
My only family, on board
He left me alone that day
Weeping tears under a sky of gray
Wide awake from this dream
Waking to the smell of sea bream
Perform my daily preparations
To go work at the local gas station
Slowly walking into work
A thought soon enveloped me
My Dad left a message in a
Bottle that I've never seen
Boss called me to the back
With an angry shout
"You're fired. Here's a corkscrew
Now get the f*ck out"
In the dumps as I exit the store
I walk back home along the shore
A wave of wonder struck my face
"I have that bottle back at my place"
Blood rushing, as I grip the glass
Corkscrew in hand, it's time at last
The bottle slips more and more
Dashed, shattered across the wooden floor
Paper amidst the shards
Arrows pointing across the sea
My father shows me
The final resting place of a vessel long unseen
Waits to be found
In the depths of a sea ravine
I need to find some answers
I need to find the Salty Sardine
"I, Sandy Gills, will travel into the blue
But I cannot go alone. I'll need myself a crew"
