Centennial Legend Lyrics

Centennial Legend lyrics

HE WAS NAMED NINETEENHUNDRED “TD“



IN THE SHIP`S BELLY LIES HIS CRADLE



HAD NO BIRTHDAY AND NO LAND OF HOME



THE OCEAN HAS NO BOUNDS



VIRGINIAN SOUNDS



AND HE FACED THE WORLD FROM INSIDE



THE BALL-ROOM OF SPLENDID SKIES



AND ON THE GRAND PIANO



HIS HANDS LIGHT AS BUTTERFLIES



HE PLAYED FOR THE RICH AND FOR THE POOR



THRILLING THE HEARTS OF ALL



THE WORLD COULD HAVE BEEN BENEATH HIS FEET



SEARCHING THE CALL



THE VOICE OF THE SEA







OLD CHANDELIER TELLS A STORY



OLD PIANO STILL ECHOES IN HERE



OLD SHIP LIES RUSTED IN THE PORT



AND THE BEST YEARS FADE AWAY



THE SPLENDOUR HAS GONE



NOT WHAT HE SAW COULD HOLD HIM BACK



IT WAS WHAT HE DIDN`T SEE



THERE WAS NO END IN THIS TOWN



KEYS SO ETERNALLY



BUT THIS WAS GOD`S PIANO



HE HEARD ON THE GANGWAY THERE



HE COULDN`T LEAVE FOREVER



THE SEA TO SOMEWHERE







(CHORUS)



BOW AND STERN



ALL THE WISHES BETWEEN



(WISHES TO YEARN)



THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS A DREAM



(A LONE DREAM, LONE DREAM)



AND WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD`S LEAVING



THE MUSIC WILL ALWAYS STAY



AND IF A STORY`S WORTH TO TELL



THE END WILL BE FAR AWAY



THE FINAL NOTES LIE MUTE UPON THE SAND







WHEN LAND IS A SHIP TOO BIG



A WOMAN OUT OF REACH



A JOURNEY TOO FAR



A WHIFF TOO STRONG



HE DIDN`T EXIST FOR ANYONE







(CHORUS)







AND IN THIS LONESOME END



FINAL NOTES LIE MUTE UPON THE SAND
