another new world (an acoustic punch brothers cover)

Description

i've loved "another new world" for a good long while now- it's been a favorite of my dad's and mine. after my "achilles come down" cover did so well, i thought i'd put out another cover with sort of similar ominous, storytelling vibes. i also read frankenstein for the first time recently and was thinking of "another new world" a lot during the seafaring portion of the story. so anyway, all that being said, i hope you enjoy :)

lyrics:
the leading lights of the age all wondered amongst themselves
what i would do next
after all that i'd found in my travels around the world
was there anything left?
"oh, gentlemen," i said, "i've studied the charts,
and if what i'm thinking is right,
there's another new world at the top of the world
for the first one to break through the ice."

then i looked 'round the room
in that way i once had, and i saw that they wanted belief
so i said, "all i've got are my guts and my god,"
then i paused- "and the annabelle lee."
oh, the annabelle lee, then i saw their eyes shine,
the most beautiful ship in the sea
my nina, my pinta, my santa maria,
my beautiful annabelle lee

that spring we set sail, the crowd waved from the shore
and on board the crew waved their hats
but i'd never had family, just the annabelle lee
so i never had cause to look back
i just studied the charts, set the course north,
and towards dawn i drifted towards sleep
and i dreamed of the fine, deep harbor i'd find
past the ice for my annabelle lee

after that, it got colder, and the world got quiet
it was never quite day or quite night
and the sea turned the color of sky
turned the color of sea turned the color of ice
after that, all around us was vastness
one glassy desert of arsenic white
and the waves that once lifted us shifted instead
into drifts against annabelle's side

and the crew gathered closer, at first for the comfort
but each morning would bring a new set
of tracks in the snow leading over the edge of the world
'til i was the only one left.
after that it gets cloudy, but it feels like i laid there
for days, or maybe for months
oh, but annabelle held me, just the two of us happy
to think back on all we had done

we talked of the other new worlds we'd discover
as she gave up her body to me
as i chopped up her mainsail for timber
i told her of all that we still had to see
as the frost turned her moorings to nine tails
and the wind lashed her sides in the cold
i burned her to keep me alive every night
in the loving embrace of her hold

and i won't call it rescue what brought me back here
to the old world to drink and decline
and pretend that the search for another new world
was well worth the burning of mine
but sometimes at night, in my dreams comes the singing
of some unknown tropical bird
and i smile in my sleep, thinking annabelle lee's
finally made it to another new world

yeah, sometimes at night, in my dreams comes the singing
of some unknown tropical bird
and i smile in my sleep, thinking annabelle lee's
finally made it to another new world
