Lyrics

Lost At Sea

He sits on the dock, sippin’ on rum
Waitin’ on the fishing boat
Bringing him word, a letter or two
From worlds far away
Island music plays in his ears day and night
And he wants to belong there but he wants to go home
He’s been cast adrift and his sails are all torn
Somedays he feels he was born
Lost at sea

The sun comes up, the sun goes down
Feels like he’s running in place
And the days spin away like coco leaves chased by a gale
Island music plays in his ears day and night
He sure likes the rhythm but the the melody’s wrong
It just doesn’t fit in with the words of the song
Sometimes he feels he was born
Lost at sea

The stars drift through the night, glittering constellations he does not know
At least he can tell that the world is still spinning
Of all the wondrous places his restless heart can go
How can Paradise feel so lonely

Now the wind is blowin’, it looks like rain and
The fishing boat’s come and gone
And he wishes he was a seabird high in the rigging
Island music playing even in his dreams
Where the seagulls circle and cartwheel and whirl
Just the vision of freedom to this earthbound world
Somedays he feels he was born…
Somedays he knows he was born…
Somedays he’s sure he was born
Lost at sea
