Lost at Sea

(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) "He was lost at sea," the paper said He set sail to never sail again He was 20-something when he left But after all the things he'd seen He's older than his age suggests "He was lost at heart," his mother said He set sail to find his heart again He wanted just a glimpse of life But now he's gone and I'm not sure He'll ever see the place he left to find If you take the wind back home someday I'd promise you don't have to stay, no I'd just hold you in my arms and pray You found yourself out in the waves I won't tell you that you've gone too far I'd just welcome you back home (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up, I'll hold you up So, he washed up on some island then That he'd seen before but never went He was lonely and he missed his friends But after, all the time it'd been He didn't know if they'd still wait for him Mama wait, I'll be back soon But I need to know you'll be there too There's not much sun that's shining through But there's a path from me to you It's dark, but I can start to see the view If you take the wind back home someday I'd promise you don't have to stay, no I'd just hold you in my arms and pray You found yourself out in the waves I won't tell you that you've gone too far I'd just welcome you back home (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up, I'll hold you up (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm) I'll hold you up, I'll hold you up I won't tell you that you've gone too far I'd just welcome you back home
