Chris De Burgh — Sailor

Underneath a silver moon, the ship is like a ghost She's been out there for a week, just waiting for the wind to blow But now she's off and running, and there's nothing I can do 'Cos I am just a prisoner here until this war is through And I'm singing Sailor, can you hear me Sailor, hear my call Sailor, take me with you Sailor, take me home Yesterday I saw a sea bird wheeling light and low Then she sailed off to the west Like she was telling me the way to go If I had her wings my love I'd be with you tonight But my last hope has gone, it's drifting out of sight Wait for me Oh Sailor, take me to her Sailor, take me home... To feel the wind, to see the sky To hear the waves breaking on the shore again To be with you, to lie with you To hear your voice echo through the hills again Oh my darling wait for me, 'cos I will be there When it is over, when it is over Yes I will return one day Sailor, take me to her Oh Sailor, take me home Sailor, can you hear me Sailor, hear my call Sailor, Sailor...
