Bilingual
Started out a younger man
Just to sail the oceans wide
Take a look at some other lands
Maybe find myself a bride
I soon found out how hard
A sailor's life can be
Now there's only one thing that I
Ever want to see
I wanna see Lights across the bay
Lights across the water
Makin' plans to steal away, yeah
With the Captain's daughter
Lights across the bay
Lights across the water
Makin' plans to steal away, yeah
With the Captain's daughter
Jumped ship in Singapore
Just to take a look around
Stole a boat and I rode ashore
But I ran that boat aground
Nothin' much appealed to me
And my money soon was spent
Someone up and shanghai'd me
And now we're settin' sail again
Dont you see the Lights across the bay
Lights across the water
Makin' plans to steal away, yeah
With the Captain's daughter
Lights across the bay
Lights across the water
Makin' plans to steal away, yeah
With the Captain's daughter
Guess I've seen my share of oceans
I've seen all the waves I want to see
Now I'm just goin' through the motions
Really only one thing that I ever want to see
I want to see
Lights across the bay
Lights across the water
Makin' plans to steal away, yeah
With the Captain's daughter, daughter
Lights across the bay
Lights across the water
Makin' plans to steal away, yeah
With the Captain's daughter
I want to see lights
I want to see lights
I want to see lights
