James Taylor - Terra Nova [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Oh, end this day, show me the ocean. When shall I see the sea?
May this day set me in emotion, I ought to be on my way
We were there, we were sailing on the terra nova
Sailing for the setting sun, sailing for the new horizon
May this day show me an ocean, I ought to be on my way

[Chorus]
Ought to be on my way right now
Stepping on the boat with a lump in my throat, on my way right now

[Verse 2]
I got a letter from a dear friend of mine
The story of a spiritual awakening
She spoke of her love returning in kind
She let me know that she'd be waiting

[Chorus]
And I should be on my way by now
Walking across the floor, reaching for the door
On my way by now

[Verse 3]
But here I sit, country fool that I am
My elbow on my knee and my chin in my hand
My mind in the gutter and my eye on the street
Holed up in a cave of concrete

[Chorus]
And i ought to be on my way right now
Packing my things while the telephone rings, on my way right now

[Verse 4]
I miss my lovely mother and I love my lonely father
I know i owe my brothers one thing and another
I hear my sister singing

[Chorus]
And I ought to be on my way right now
Moving across the land with my heart in my hand, on my way by now
Ought to be on my way by now

[Outro]
Oh, end this day, set me in motion. Ought to be on my way
Out to the west of lambert's cove, there's a sail out in the sun
And I'm on board though very small
I've come home to stop yearning
Burn off the haze around the shore, turn off the crazy way I feel
I'll stay away from you no more, I've come home to stop yearning
