Song #4 for the fifty songs in ninety days songwriting challenge, 2018.

lyrics

They've polished all the brass-work
And they've scrubbed down all the decks
The navigator spreads his charts
Coordinates are set
The captain sails this ship of life
Into the land of dreams
And soon they'll come to foreign ports
Where nothing's as it seems

And all the while the pilot
With his hand upon the wheel
Guides them through these traitorous seas
Where nothing is quite real
For sailing the sub-consciousness
Requires a skilled hand
And all upon that fateful trip
Will learn what it demands

Three days in, a storm appears
Upon those choppy seas
They sail into a nightmare
That will bring them to their knees
But the captain knows his vessel
And he reassures the crew
He's sailed through many storms before
And he will guide them true

And as the crew grow weary
Of their voyage through the mind
They share their wistful stories
Of the thoughts they left behind
And after many weeks at sea
As hope becomes despair
The captain finds his foreign port
And lands his vessel there

And in the land of rummy dreams
The sailors take their leave
They find more wealth and wisdom
Than a sane man could believe
And when they've had their fill
Of all their sub-consciousness owns
They climb once more upon the ship
And sail their vessel home
