I could have stayed in the harbour
Safe from the storm and the gale
Letting the sands run through my hands
Watching as others set sail
But I would have spent time counting
The things I'd never known
Passions laid waste, dreams misplaced
The seeds of desire unsown
I'm a single handed sailor
Lost, adrift and alone
Hoping to ride the winds and the tide
Hoping to find my way home
The sea is ever changing
Like the beat of a restless heart
Out there I find some peace of mind
To keep me from falling apart
When the voyage was ended
I'd stand once again on the shore
I'd take time to smile and rest for a while
Before setting sail once more
I'm a single handed sailor
Lost, adrift and alone
Hoping to ride the winds and the tide
Hoping to find my way home
You know I must roam the ocean
The wanderlust still burns
'Neath empty skies I'd remember the ties
That bind and I will always return
I'm a single handed sailor
Lost, adrift and alone
Hoping to ride the winds and the tide
Hoping to find my way home
I'm a single handed sailor
Lost, adrift and alone
Hoping to ride the winds and the tide
Hoping to find my way home
