If there's one thing in my life that's missing It's the time that I spend alone Sailing on the cool and bright clear water It's kind of a special feeling When you're out on the sea alone Staring at the full moon, like a lover Time for a cool change I know that it's time for a cool change Now that my life is so prearranged I know that it's time for a cool change Well I was born in the sign of water And it's there that I feel my best The albatross and the whales they are my brothers There's lots of those friendly people And they're showing me ways to go And I never want to lose their inspiration Time for a cool change I know that it's time for a cool change Now that my life is so prearranged I know that it's time for a cool change I've never been romantic And sometimes I don't care I know it may sound selfish But let me breathe the air Let me breathe the air... Well I was born in the sign of water And it's there that I feel my best The albatross and the whales they are my brothers It's kind of a special feeling When you're out on the sea alone Staring at the full moon, like a lover Time for a cool change I know that it's time for a cool change Now that my life is so prearranged I know that it's time for a cool change
