Lyrics
There's a bird over my shoulder

I can see upon the wing

And as we leave the sight of England

No longer will I hear you sing

Riding high above the ocean

Beyond the rainbow far away
Heading towards an uncertain future, described metaphorically as "beyond the rainbow far away."
Darkest in a month of Sundays

No moon to guide the way
Navigating without guidance, possibly feeling lost or without direction.
As we steam into the darkness
Entering a period of uncertainty or darkness, both literally and metaphorically.
High above the ocean floor
Traversing an unknown and potentially dangerous path above the ocean.
Like a cloud betrayed by moonlight

In the dark I see no more

As we touch so many sleeping

Our jeopardy will soon be known

And as the giant is upended

Helpless into the dark we're thrown

Now the icy cold consumes me
Experiencing a chilling and isolating sensation, possibly representing fear or despair.
Stars I've never seen before
Observing unfamiliar and beautiful sights, possibly representing new perspectives or opportunities.
Shining like million diamonds
The beauty of the stars contrasting with the coldness suggests a mix of emotions or experiences.
Will they shine for evermore

As the soul is drifting from me

The story's end, a tale to tell

I will not sink into the darkness

I have not bade my last farewell
