lyrics

Oh sailor, oh sailor
The glow of the moon and the swell of the sea
If you follow the stars where will they lead?
Oh sailor, oh sailor
I know well the pull of the tide
The high and the low and the thrill of the ride
Oh sailor

Oh mother, oh mother
I’m so different from you I fear
My heart on an ocean so far from here
And oh father, oh father
If I brave the waters will you be the shore?
A light in the tower, a port in the storm?
Oh father…

Could I sail away
With breath and wind to guide me?
Could I sail away home?

Oh love, oh love
Will I ever anchor, will I ever stay?
Or could you be the sails, could that be my way?
Oh love…

Could I sail away
With breath and wind to guide me?
Could I sail away home?

Oh sailor, oh sailor
The glow of the moon and the swell of the sea
If I follow the stars where will they lead me?
