A Sailor's Song

The sky is my friend
The stars, my brothers
God is my father
And the earth is my mother
When I am at sea, I feel I am home
But when on land, I will roam
Oh, on the land, I'll forevermore roam

The groans and creaks of the old mountain timber,
Send warnings of time as
my spirit grows dimmer.
The aching of the land has
led me to see
That the sea is where I must be,
For there I am finally free

Oh the storm, the storm
That rages within me
Oh how can I even go on?
With you in front of me,
It's either you or the sea.

The moon does not waver,
Nor the sun grow cold.
You will be with me 'till the day
I grow old
When yesterday's over
and tomorrow is gone
You will realize the reason why I've done what I've done
I hope you accept the person I've become

Oh oh, the wind carries on,
Oh oh, the night is long
I will see you in dreams,
My love, my life
And mourn the day,
I'd given you strife

Over the sands, the tides are churning
With all this time, I have been learning
That the sun rises up from the
East to the West
And the tides, though predictable
Are indecisive at best
Though I love the waves, and admire the sea
There's no place I'd rather be,
If only you were with me.
If only it were you and me.
