Oh, you're saying it's time to go
You've overstayed your welcome
The wind is right, tide is at sail
Far across some ocean
And take a look in through your window,1 babe
At what I want you see
There's a storm in there a-raging
Too soon to set out to sea
Crusoe was a man who sailed away
'Til he could sail no further
He set away on oaths and waves
That with2 time only had the answer
And you seem many storms a friend
Before you reach that island
So stay with me a while
Until the storm is over
You ask yourself if you've been here before
Are they your footprints there, below you?
You've been this way so many times, oh
You know the road that lies before you
And you just say there's nothing for new
There's nothing you can alter
And your words they've lost their power
To touch those who can help you
Oh, you're saying it's time to go
You've overstayed your welcome
The wind is right, tide is at sail
Far across some ocean
And take a look in through your wind, babe
At what I want you see
There's a storm in there a-raging
Too soon to set out to sea
