The sky is getting gray For the afternoon shower And i'm starting to believe That i'm gonna be fine Life goes on But i need to drop out for an hour And you've got to understand That the hour's mine Staring at the distance Where the sky meets the ocean And the seam is being stitched By the needles of rain I'll be lost in thought And ignoring the motion Of the world around So let me tell you again Don't bother to call on me Don't bother to call on me I don't understand What prevents me from leaving For the comfort of habit Isn't good enough to stay Sitting on the beach I would often be dreaming Of a ship under black sails To come and take me away The spirit of adventure Is alive - i'm just waiting For a definite sign To tell me which way to go If you bring the articles Then my pen is ready But other than that You should already know Don't bother to call on me Don't bother to call on me
