At Sea

I was a sailor too long at sea All I wanted was to be free I couldn't just let it be And wait for the world to come to me When I picked up the scent It was close enough to taste it blowing in As soon as I chased it on the wind It shifted away and was gone again I took the current where it leads I tried not to wind up in the weeds Always a drifter out to see What else the world could offer me When I picked up the scent It was close enough to taste it blowing in As soon as I chased it on the wind It shifted away and was gone again Doesn't matter now where I've been Seven seas and back again Without a reason in the end I'm just out there freezing in the wind When I pick up the scent I can see it now but I couldn't then As soon as I chase it on the wind Well it's shifted away and it's gone again When I pick up the scent I can see it now but I couldn't see it then As soon as I chase it on the wind Well it's shifted away and it's gone again Shifted away and it's gone again Shifted away and it's gone again
