SAILOR

Just like the sailor on leave from the ship

I am caught in the wind on the shore

Rain on my face and no where a trace

Of a friend or a foe

Out on the river the boats are leavin’

Headin’ for Singapore, engines glowin’

Everyone knows where they’re headed

With their face to the wind and the future

Sail with me

Oh my love

On a river of darkness

To a shore of light

Stood in the light of a lamp on the corner

And looked at the shadows

Wondering how I could ever go home again

Out on the river the boats are singing

Scrap of a song I remember from England

Turn your face to the wind and the future

Sail with me

Oh my love

On a river of darkness

To a shore of light

Through the clouds in the sky

See the shape of the unicorn

See the cut of his wings

Hear the song that his ancient voice sings

Oh, Oh

How did I find myself here in the dark

Of deserted shipwrecks

Turning my collar back up against the cold

Out on the river the fireworks shining

Sound of a train whistle whining and crying

Turn your face to the wind and the future

Sail with me

Oh my love
