Song of a Sailor
There once was a sailor
He lived on the sea
He goes where the wind blows
Waves follow his lead
When the sun starts to set
And the moon begins to rise
He lays down his head
And he closes his eyes
And with a quick prayer, he says
"Farewell Atlantic, Farewell Pacific
Goodnight Arctic and Indian too
I'm off to my dreams
But I'll see you real soon
When the stars quit beaming
And gone is the moon
I am uncertain of what tomorrow brings
Heaven may call and this world I may leave
But if I go today
Oh I'll know I lived a good life
'Cause if loving you was my purpose
Oh I know I did it right"
With calloused hands
And trust in the helm
He leads his way home
The stars as his guide
Wood creaks from age
And sails torn from weather
Worn out from the waves
His boat tried from pressure
When the sun starts to set
And the moon begins to rise
He lays down his head
And he closes his eyes
And with a quick prayer, he says
"Farewell Atlantic, Farewell Pacific
Goodnight Arctic and Indian too
I'm off to my dreams
But I'll see you real soon
When the stars quit beaming
And gone is the moon
I am uncertain of what tomorrow brings
Heaven may call and this world I may leave
But if I go today
Oh I'll know I lived a good life
'Cause if loving you was my purpose
Oh I know I did it right"
"I'll journey so far
And circumnavigate the globe
Like Magellan did so long ago
I'm far away from my destination
But I'll get there
With a little hope and love
From my companions in the sea"
When the sun starts to set
And the moon begins to rise
He lays down his head
And he closes his eyes
"Farewell Atlantic, Farewell Pacific
Goodnight Arctic and Indian too
I'm off to my dreams
But I'll see you real soon
When the stars quit beaming
And gone is the moon
I am uncertain of what tomorrow brings
Heaven may call and this world I may leave
But if I go today
Oh I'll know I lived a good life
'Cause if loving you was my purpose
Oh I know I did it right"
Mhmm, mhmm
He lived on the sea
He goes where the wind blows
Waves follow his lead
When the sun starts to set
And the moon begins to rise
He lays down his head
And he closes his eyes
And with a quick prayer, he says
"Farewell Atlantic, Farewell Pacific
Goodnight Arctic and Indian too
I'm off to my dreams
But I'll see you real soon
When the stars quit beaming
And gone is the moon
I am uncertain of what tomorrow brings
Heaven may call and this world I may leave
But if I go today
Oh I'll know I lived a good life
'Cause if loving you was my purpose
Oh I know I did it right"
With calloused hands
And trust in the helm
He leads his way home
The stars as his guide
Wood creaks from age
And sails torn from weather
Worn out from the waves
His boat tried from pressure
When the sun starts to set
And the moon begins to rise
He lays down his head
And he closes his eyes
And with a quick prayer, he says
"Farewell Atlantic, Farewell Pacific
Goodnight Arctic and Indian too
I'm off to my dreams
But I'll see you real soon
When the stars quit beaming
And gone is the moon
I am uncertain of what tomorrow brings
Heaven may call and this world I may leave

When the sun starts to set
And the moon begins to rise

And he closes his eyes
"Farewell Atlantic, Farewell Pacific

Oh I'll know I lived a good life
'Cause if loving you was my purpose
Oh I know I did it right"
Mhmm, mhmm
