Bob Seger — Sailing Nights

[Verse 1] Like the wind that carried Ahab To a far more distant shore To a shipwreck that was certain Long before I can see there's no use sailing Among ships I've known before It will only bring me more And more and more [Chorus] Lonely sailing nights More racing, dimming lights Lonely nights And all too familiar sights [Verse 2] Just as water seeks its level So I only seek to live Hoping somehow I can find A way to give And the sea, it softly beckons "Come and go where you've not been." With the dawning of a new day I'm gone, again [Chorus] Lonely sailing nights Gone racing, dimming lights Lonely nights And all too familiar sights
