[Verse 1]
The ship had reached the open Pacific.
A school of flying fish skimmed the water’s surface,
Grazing the waves before driving back into the sea.
Waves approached from the quarter.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The horizon was in sight.
Land lay far in the distance.
[Chorus 1]
The ship raced across the vast ocean,
The low hum of the engine,
The hull slicing through the water,
Gliding smoothly forward.
[Verse 2]
We washed away the seat in the bath and enjoyed dinner at the restaurant.
We checked the ship’s current location.
We had nothing left to do.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Outside lay the pitch-black sea.
Inside the cabin, there was nothing to occupy us.
[Chorus 2]
The ship raced across the vast ocean,
The low hum of the engine,
The hull slicing through the water,
Gliding smoothly forward.
[Verse 3]
We were due to arrive tomorrow morning,
But it was still too early to sleep.
I read the novel I had started earlier,
While she listened to music through her earphones.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Lying on the bed in our cabin,
I felt the ship swaying gently.
[Chorus 3]
The ship raced across the vast ocean,
The low hum of the engine,
The hull slicing through the water,
Gliding smoothly forward.
[Bridge]
Morning came, and we woke up.
We had breakfast in the restaurant.
We were nearing the port.
We headed down the parking deck.
[Final Chorus]
The ship raced across the vast ocean,
The low hum of the engine,
The hull slicing through the water,
Gliding smoothly forward.
[Outro]
