Letters from the Atlantic

Oh, sailor dearest, come on home Won't you stay with me for another year? For another year? The beer is cold and the bed is warm I'm hoping you'll walk through my door Walk through my door Nights here get lonely I love you, but you love the sea And it's kept you from me The sea's kept you from me Oh, wife, my dearest, I know you're home What's been keeping you there for another year? For another year? The seas are cold and the sun is warm I'm hoping you'll leave the shore Leave the shore Life's been weighing you down Heavy-hearted to the ground Why not sail with me? Why not sail with me? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Heave and ho Our ship is ready to go And we'll sail, sail, sail away from here Well, don't cry, don't cry, it's all right Our wings were made to fly So we'll sail, sail, sail away, my dear Oh, sailor dearest, I can't come aboard My fear, it spreads from starboard to port From starboard to port I'd rather live quietly Right here beneath the trees With my roots planted deep All my roots planted deep Oh, wife, my dearest, I love you so But a man like me was made to explore Made to explore Grab a bag full of hope Look for sails made of taupe We'll leave the dock and be free We'll leave the dock and be free Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ha! Heave and ho Our ship is ready to go And we'll sail, sail, sail away from here Well, don't cry, don't cry, it's all right Our wings were made to fly So we'll sail, sail, sail away, my dear Aah-aah-aah Aah-aah-aah Aah-aah-aah-aah Heave and ho Our ship is ready to go And we'll sail, sail, sail away from here Well, don't cry, don't cry, it's all right Our wings were made to fly So we'll sail, sail, sail away, my dear So we'll sail, sail, sail away, my dear
