Compass card is spinning
Your helm is swaying to and fro
Ooh, where's the dog star?
Ooh, where's the moon?
You're a lost sailor
Been 'way too long at sea
ย
Some days the sea is howling
Some days the sea is still as glass
Ooh, reef the main sail
Ooh, lash the mast
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea
Now the shore lights beckon
Oh hey, there's a price for being free
Hear the seabirds cry
And there's a ghost wind blowing
It's calling you to that misty swirling sea
'Til the chains of your dreams are broken
No place in this world you can be
ย
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea
Now the shore lights beckon
Oh hey, there's a price for being free
Go on drifting, you're drifting
Drifting and dreaming
Mm
Is there a place you've never been?
Or a face you've never seen?
You can hear them calling on the wind now
Ooh, drifting and dreaming
Go on and drift your life away
Drifting and dreaming
Just going for a dream
Baby, going on a feeling
Baby, going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling, yeah, yeah
Get your life away now
Drifting and dreaming now
And we're going on a feeling
We'll be going on a feeling
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
ย
I guess this is heaven
The last station on the line
Girl, you must be an angel
What else could be so fine?
Was it you I heard singing?
While I was chasing all my dreams
Driven by the wind
Like the dust that blows around
And the rain falling down
I guess this is Heaven
Honey, here's where the rainbows end
Sure looks like the real thing
If it ain't, we can just pretend
But when that wind blows, with the darkness about to fall
I can hear the sirens call
It's a certain sort of sound
When the rain falling down
When the rain falling down
Holding on 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
So I don't know what the weather might do
But hear that witch-wind whining and see that dog star shine
I got a feeling there's no time to lose
No time to lose
ย
Well, it's been heaven
But even rainbows will end
Retain and what can I say now?
I'm as good as gone again
I'm still walking
So I'm sure that I can dance
Just a saint of circumstance
Like a tiger in a trance
In the rain falling down now
Rain falling down
Rain falling down
Rain falling down
Rain falling down
ย
Well, I sure don't know what I'm going for
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
Say, I sure don't know what I'm going for
Say it again
Yeah, but I'm gonna go for it for sure
Well, I sure don't know what I'm going for
Really going on a feeling
I'm gonna go for it for sure
Sure don't know what I'm going for
Baby, going on a feeling
I'm gonna go for it for sure
(Hey, hey)
ย
We're gonna take a short break
We'll be back in a few minutes, so everybody hang loose
