The Sailor

Words from the late Stuart Adamson.

What would you be
If the waves set you free
And the wind in your hair
Brought you sailing to me

Tied up on the shore
Would you weary no more
When will it be
When will it be

What would I be
If a hurricane came
Would I be clever
Would I lie helpless
Cast up on the flames

What will I be?
What will I be?

I will be here forever
Till the river runs into the sea
I will always be silent
And hold my head up
And we will be sailors no more

Where would we go
To the sand or the snow
Wander in memories or let them all go
Would we be dreamers
Helplessly so
Where would we go, where would we go?
