Compass card is spinning
Helm is swinging to and fro
Ooh, where is the dog star
Ooh, where's the moon
You're a lost sailor
You've been too long at sea
Some days the gales are howling
Some days the sea is still as glass
Ooh, reef the mainsail
Ooh, lash the mast
You're a lost sailor
You've been too long at sea
Now the shore-lights beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free
Yeah, the sea birds cry
There's a ghost wind blowing
It's calling you to that misty swirling sea
Till the chains of your dreams are broken
No place in this world you can be
You're a lost sailor
You've been too long at sea
Now the shore-lights beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free
Drifting, yeah drifting
Yeah, drifting and dreaming
'Cause there's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen
You can hear her calling on the wind
Go on and drift your life away
Yeah, just drifting and dreaming
Maybe drift your life away
Drifting and dreaming
Yes I'm going on a dream
Maybe going on a dream
Maybe going on a dream
Maybe going on a dream
This must be heaven
Tonight, I crossed the line
You must be the angel
I thought I might never find
Was it you I heard singing
Oh while I was chasing dreams
Driven by the wind
Like the dust that blows around
And the rain falling down?
But I never know
(Sure don't know)
I never know, never know
(Sure don't know)
This must be heaven
'Cause here's where the rainbow ends
And at last it's the real thing
Or close enough to pretend
When that wind blows (wind blows)
And the night starts to fall
I can hear the sirens call
It's a certain sort of sound
And the rain falling down, rain falling down
Rain falling down, rain falling down
Holes in what's left of my reason
Holes in the knees of my blues
Odds against me been increasing
But I'll pull through
Never could read no road-map
Now, I don't know what the weather might do
Hear that witch wind whining
See that dog star shining
I got a feeling there's no time to lose
No time to lose
I never know
(Sure don't know)
I will never know, no, no
(Sure don't know)
Well, it's been heaven
Even rainbows will end
Now, my sails are filling
The wind so willing
And I'm good as gone again
I'm still walking
So I'm sure that I can dance
Just a saint of circumstance
Just a tiger in a trance
And the rain falling down, rain falling down
Rain falling down, rain falling down
Rain falling down
Rain falling down
Rain falling down
Rain falling down
Well, I never know now
Just don't know
Just don't know
Well, sure don't know what I'm going for
Sure don't know
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
Yeah for sure, yeah for sure
Well, sure don't know what I'm going for
Just don't never know, never never know
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
No no no, that's for sure, yeah for sure
Sure don't know what I'm going for
Just don't never never know, no no
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
That's for sure
Sure don't know what I'm going for
Yeah, maybe going on a dream, going on a dream now
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
Maybe going on a feeling, maybe going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling
