Sailing Solo

The Beautiful South

 Imagine sailing solo around the world
 Only to find you've missed a continent out
 And as your happy turns choppy and tidal wave swirls
 You're wondering why there's no one about

 At least Captain Scott actually stood on the spot
 Where he planned to put up Union Jack
 And though Captain Cook cursed the map that he took
 He got near enough for native's attack

 That's how it feels trying to navigate you
 Even with compass and infinite time
 Just when I think I've found some part that's new
 I find a flag already up that's not mine

 Circling you is journey minus view
 Exploration without reason or reward
 'Cause when I get near you use an arrow or spear
 To prevent my heart ever being shored

 The earth ain't flat but it's a simple doormat
 Compared to your unclimbable self
 The desolate terrain you have to cross to your brain
 Just one of your slippery shelves

 That's how it feels trying to navigate you
 Even with compass and infinite time
 Just when I think I've found some part that's new
 I find a flag already up that's not mine

 And if I ever get close I'll need a banner or post
 To hang it from, first there or not
 So voyage may uncover a sister or brother
 And a friendship that Colombus forgot.
