Lyrics
Cast upon the wind
When it shifted i drifted
Without a star to steer by
Fowl weather took me by suprise
I felt the sea begin to rise.
You are my lifeline
When love ripped all my sails with rain,
You saved me from this hurricane,
You are my lifeline
Now im sailing toward the island of your love.
Sailing t'ward the island, sailing t'ward the island
Sailing t'ward the island of your love (x2)
Hurled upon the reef
No lighthouse, no goodnight house
Upon my broken ship
I found no shelter anywhere
Until i saw your ...
You are my lifeline
When love ripped all my sails with rain,
You saved me from this hurricane,
You are my lifeline
Now im sailing toward the island of your love.
Sailing t'ward the island, sailing t'ward the island
Sailing t'ward the island of your love (x2)
