The Ark

Gerry Rafferty · City To City [1978]

See the dark night has come down on us

The world is livin' in its dream

But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep

And set out on the journey, find a ship to take us on the way



The time has come to trust that guiding light

And leavin' all the rest behind

We'll take the road that leads down to the waterside

And set out on the journey, find a ship to take us on the way



And we'll sail out on the water

Yes, we'll feel the seas roll

Yes, we'll meet out on the water

Where are all strangers are known



If you travel blindly, if you fall

The truth is there to set you free

And when your heart can see just one thing in this life

We'll set out on the journey

Find a ship to take us on the way



And we'll sail out on the water

Yes, we'll feel the seas roll

Yes, we'll meet out on the water

Where are all strangers are known



See the dark night has come down on us

The world is livin' in its dream

But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep

And set out on the journey, find a ship to take us on the way



And we'll sail out on the water

Yes, we'll feel the seas roll

Yes, we'll meet out on the water

Where are all strangers are known
