Sea Dreamer

Same tide that drew me closer

Pushed me far away

I held the hand the lit the dark night

Then with nothing I could say

I was on the outside

I was waiting for a sign

I set a course for a hidden island

That lay beyond the deceiving silence

I was on the dark side

I was sailing towards the light

I made my way through a sea of sirens

A pirate's life full of worthless diamonds

I try and listen to the music

When the ocean breathes

Wish that I could build a bridge across the sea

And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me

Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free

That's where I'll be

Same sign that drew me closer

Jealous howling wind

The memory of the safest shoreline

Never find again

I was on the outside

I was waiting for the right

I fought my way though a sea of violence

But you never heard me scream in silence

I was on the dark side

I was sailing through the night

I'm playing cards at the devil's table

I lost my hand to a hand-less table

Every time I hear the music when the ocean breathes

Make me wish that I could build a bridge across the sea

And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me

Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free

Is that where you'll be?

I was on the outside

I was waiting for a sign

I set a course for a hidden island

That lay beyond the deceiving silence

Every time I hear the music when the ocean breathes (I hear the music)

Make me wish that I could build a bridge across the sea (across the sea)

And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me (secrets of the moonlight)

Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free (sky breaks free)

I'll be on the outside

Far beyond the rising tide

Where you'll be searching far and wide

For what you lost along the ride

When you sail to find me

Let the wind remind thee

Of a shipwrecked sailor that was saved by a maiden

And sent out to sea

That's where I'll be

A million, million miles away

Sea dreamer 'til my dying day
