Sailor

Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
The ripples in the water Carry with the tide The stories of the ocean And the distant lands it hides The islands in the distance are Calling out my name I sit here in the harbor And watch the ships come in They come to fill their bellies And then sail away again I wonder if you're coming soon to Sail away with me Cause you say that you're a sailor Won't you sail me out to sea To see whatever we could be I got my eyes on the horizon Got your hands upon the sail We'll build a family with the salmon and the whales And the ripples in the water Are reflected in your eyes They're green and gray and silver And your hands are worn and wise Your voice is soft and chilling like the Wind upon the waves The sunset it is waiting For us to start our journey west We'll get out of this harbor And then figure out the rest I packed my bags years ago I'm ready for the sea Cause you say that you're a sailor Won't you sail me out to sea To see whatever we could be I got my eyes on the horizon Got your hands upon the sail We'll build a family with the salmon and the whales Oh, cause our love is as true Oh, as the ocean is blue And the ripples in the water Are turning gray From the storm on the horizon You turn away And the sunset glow is fading now I lost you in the night Cause I thought you were my sailor Thought you'd sail away with me Turns out my ocean was a fantasy Cause when I got out of the harbor Was the only one a-sail My true companions were the salmon and the whales Cause oceans aren't always blue Promises aren't always true I won't sail away with you But those islands Are still in view I'll send ripples in the water Across the seven seas As I climb aboard my sailboat Finally feeling free
