Chris De Burgh - Sailor lyrics
[Chris De Burgh - Sailor lyrics]
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 seabird 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
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 seabird 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
