The Sailor

I can't help the way I am
A strong heart with a mission in an ocean sailing man
I can't help where I've been
The lessons life has given me, the ocean that I've seen
And though it may be sweet
A constant earth beneath me
A lover in my reach

Oh my love
Satisfaction waits I'm following my fate
Oh so true
My harshest sacrifice is sailing far from you

Dropped anchor near a shore
A land of gold and silver and strange alluring whores
New and unknown things
A carnival existence a freedom fit for kings
But heavy is my head
Your eyes a thousand miles away
And me not in your bed

Oh my love
Satisfaction waits I'm following my fate
Oh so true
My harshest sacrifice is sailing far from you

Now sunlight hits the sea
My coarse is set, the winds are strong and luck is here with me
See I've worked for this my life
But sadness plagues the sailor
Always leaving love behind

Oh my love
Satisfaction waits I'm following my fate
Oh so true
My harshest sacrifice is sailing far from you
