Текст песни Corsican Mastiff Stride (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 4) - The Mountain Goats

We sail, we sleep, we scry by land
We dig a pit beneath the sand
A place to keep the sun at bay
At dawn we rise and find our way

With our faithful companion by our side
Put it all on the table and let it ride
Close to the dropoff on our long slide

The land we knew becomes a dream
The names we knew, they rise like steam
They leave some trails against the sky
All but invisible to the eye

With our faithful companion by our side
Put it all on the table and let it ride
Close to the dropoff on our long slide

Call off the search party
Let mourners wail by the shore
Point to the spot where our ship disappeared
We′re not coming home anymore

Should you succeed and breach the coast
You tell your friends you've seen a ghost
You tell them all there′s nothing here worth dying for
You leave it there

With our faithful companion by our side
Put it all on the table and let it ride (let it ride)
We're close to the dropoff on our long slide
