lyrics

Sailor Sailor

Tonight I hear the ocean
Crashing on the beach
Her waves come tumbling
Right down my street
She got something to say
Something to teach
She’s so close tonight
But she’s out of reach

She calling my name
It echoes through the night
I don’t know if she wants to make love or pick a fight
I wish I understood
The language that she speaks
Oh she’s so close tonight
But she’s still out of reach

Sailor sailor
You belong
On that rolling sea
Sailor sailor
You chase the wind
Longing to be free
The ghost of your shipwreck holds a wisdom that is deep
So close tonight yet
out of reach

I go stumbling through the darkness
I stagger through the rain
All this wasted ammunition
Trips me up again
I been choking on these sermons that I preach
I’m so close tonight but I'm
out of reach

Sailor sailor
You belong
On that rolling sea
Sailor sailor
You chase the wind
Longing to be free
There’s a light on in the window
Through the curtains you did peek
She’s so close tonight but she’s out of reach
Your so close tonight but your out of reach
So close tonight but
Out of reach
Out reach
Out of reach
Out of reach
