lyrics
Me and my Brother grew up with one another,
We never had any plans,
Until one summer we went and told our Mother,
We’re forming a travelling band.
We’ll go to cities, cities in other countries,
We’ll traverse the open sea,
Like Simon Fraser, our penchant for adventure,
Will lead to discovery.
I had a ship and my brother had a map
We joined with some honest men,
We trimmed the sails and pointed to a distant land,
All aboard all hands!
I went to see her, I went up there to see her,
Before we set sail again,
I told my lover, I told her that I loved her,
And this isn’t the way it ends.
I’ll go to cities, cities in other countries,
It’s bound to get dangerous,
But I’ll be careful, my heart will remain faithful,
She’ll know it’s the truth because
I’ll write her letters where I trace around my hand,
And she could trace her hand in mine,
Ten thousand miles would disappear between the lines.
We set sail in moonlight,
Our van is our ship and the sea is the night,
Treelines float past,
They’re ghosts of the land-locked towns staring through the glass,
Ghosts of towns we pass.
We never had any plans,
Until one summer we went and told our Mother,
We’re forming a travelling band.
We’ll go to cities, cities in other countries,
We’ll traverse the open sea,
Like Simon Fraser, our penchant for adventure,
Will lead to discovery.
I had a ship and my brother had a map
We joined with some honest men,
We trimmed the sails and pointed to a distant land,
All aboard all hands!
I went to see her, I went up there to see her,
Before we set sail again,
I told my lover, I told her that I loved her,
And this isn’t the way it ends.
I’ll go to cities, cities in other countries,
It’s bound to get dangerous,
But I’ll be careful, my heart will remain faithful,
She’ll know it’s the truth because
I’ll write her letters where I trace around my hand,
And she could trace her hand in mine,
Ten thousand miles would disappear between the lines.
We set sail in moonlight,
Our van is our ship and the sea is the night,
Treelines float past,
They’re ghosts of the land-locked towns staring through the glass,
Ghosts of towns we pass.
