SAILOR
Painting of a sailor lost at sea
His back on the rudder and his spirit free
And on still nights in open waters he hears souls like him whispering
About things that might have been

And as the dawn awakens he’s chilled to the bone
He knows the soul that’s been aching is his own
And he hopes the weight was right when he traded that night
All this for his home

The hand you're dealt, everything riding on nothing,
You got just one more move and your treading thin,
And you thought you heard a voice from the past and you swear you felt something

So you set your sails for homeward bound and give up that pirate song
And you might find that peace of mind you’ve been hunting for so long

Look to the sky see the warning now, you got some bad weather coming in,
And you think you're right, well beyond reasonable doubt that the storm might be coming from within

How can you give her what she wants when she doesn’t know?
Depending what mood she's in,
And by giving up, she wouldn’t rest until you did, reluctantly you surrender to the wind,
And in her new found freedom she nails you to the cross,
Each move she makes to try and take some sadness from the loss
And on her drunken stumble with people you know seven waves will come
And say that’s just the way it goes

Look to the sky see the warning now you’ve got some bad weather coming in,
I don’t know where this journey will end but I’ll be a sailor then

Look to the sky look to the wind, pick up the breeze again
I don’t know where this journey will end but I’ll be a sailor then
I don’t know where this journey will end but I’ll be a sailor then
