I am but a sailor and
A drifter by my trade
Sailing through port town to town
Searching for a way
Back home to my baby
I've been gone for so long
Mother nature's sea don't care
Where I've been and gone
Mother nature's sea don't care
Where I've been and gone
You can always find me where
The river meets the sea
And the afternoon sun starts to
Set on top of me
A lifetime can go by right
Before your very eyes
Your love is my guiding star
Lead me to the light
Your love is my guiding star
Lead me to the light
Is a ship and a sailor
All I'll ever be
No time for love
No family
Only the sea
When the boats start to rattle
And the waves begin to break
I still go back to a single
Picture of your face
And though I only knew you
For a night I am sure
Your love has got me through
The roughest waves of war
Your love has got me through
The roughest waves of war
Your love is my guiding star
Lead me to the shore
For I am just a sailor
Bound to the sea forevermore
