Lyrics

Well, you asked how much I love you

Why do ships with sails love the wind?

And will I be thinking of you?

Will I ever pass this way again?

I'll be returning some day

Until then...

Please don't ask me my direction

Let my tracks be buried in the sea

'Cause to wander's my infection

'Til the four winds bring you back to me

Don't count your memories

Think of me as just a dream

Just like this melody, I sing

Well, you asked how much I love you

Why do ships with sails love the wind?

And will I be thinking of you?

Will I ever pass this way again?

I'll be returning some day

Until then...

Please don't ask me my direction

Let my tracks be buried in the sea

'Cause to wander's my infection

'Til the four winds bring you back to me

Don't count your memories

Think of me as just a dream

Just like this melody, I sing
