Invisible Man
A friendly light shines from the past
This warm and welcome shadow cast
Follow it and I come to find
These precious souls you left behind.
Heading set to three one five
Toward the danger to stay alive
A crack and clash and shattered mast
Left to float but free at last.
Well I’m out of depth and overwhelmed
Stand my post, I’ve got the helm
Made a promise I won’t forget
Never heard your voice before,
But need to talk to you
Haven’t seen your face before,
But now I miss it too
Would have liked to shake the hand
The hand of this invisible man
Home is here now, I won’t look back
Just wish I could have met you, Jack
Stories told by glowing faces
Of warmer times in colder places
‘Til I’m gone I owe this debt
To my best friend I’ve never met
The wake you left moves us along
We’ll sing a silly mermaid song
A silent service I’ll hold for you
Heavy heart now open wide
“Sea Y’all” on the other side
I’d swear you’re here to see us through
Would have liked to shake the hand
The hand of this invisible man
Home is here now, I won’t look back
Just wish I could have met you, Jack
Lighting my way your star shines through the dark
See your reflection in their eyes and on their hearts
I surfaced from the darkness up into the blue
And now I say goodbye and raise a glass to you
Would have liked to shake the hand
The hand of this invisible man
Drop the anchor, gonna hang my hat
Just wish I could have met you…
