Aunt_Acid Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 If the lyrics don't explain it to you, I don't know what will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 aaaah Kansas, one of those great bands that are hardly ever mentioned here. I always thought it was just a simple pre-Colombus sailor story, but you never know with these geeky pregressive guys. This is one of the few radio songs to feature 7/8 time.

edna Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Point Of Know Return Kansas (Steve Walsh / Phil Ehart / Robby Steinhardt) I heard the men saying something The captains tell they pay you well And they say they need sailing men to Show the way, and leave today Was it you that said, "How long, how long?" They say the sea turns so dark that You know it's time, you see the sign They say the point demons guard is An ocean grave, for all the brave, Was it you that said, "How long, how long, How long to the point of know return?"

Aunt_Acid Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Funny thing is, all he did was post the lyrics, nothing about the song. So I guess I was right in the first place. I believe an apology is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Judging by the screen name, I thought he/she wasn't gonna come back. Anyways, here's the second half: Your father, he said he needs you Your mother, she says she loves you Your brothers, they echo your words: "How far to the point of know return?" "Well, how long?" Today I found a message floating In the sea from you to me It said that when you could see it You cried with fear, the Point was near Was it you that said, "How long, how long To the Point of Know Return? tune in next week for the third half...
