Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Compass card is spinning
Helm is swinging to and fro
Ooh, where is the Dog Star?
Ooh, where's the moon?
You're a lost sailor
You been too long at sea
[Verse 2]
Some days, the gales are howling
Some days, the sea is still as glass
Oh, leave the main sail
Oh, lash the mast
You're a lost sailor
You been too long at sea
[Verse 3]
Now the shorelines beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free
[Verse 4]
Yeah, the sea birds crying
And there's a ghost wind blowing
And it's calling you
To that misty swirling sea
[Verse 5]
Till the chains of your dreams are broken
No place in this world you can be
[Verse 6]
You're a lost sailor
You've been away too long at sea
Now the shorelines beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free
[Verse 7]
Drifting, you're drifting
Yeah, drifting and dreaming
'Cause there's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen now
You can hear them callin' on the wind
Ooh, you're drifting your life away
Yeah, just drifting
Hey baby, drift your life away
Drifting, baby
Yes, we goin' on a dream now
Baby, goin' on a dream now
Baby, goin' on a dream now
Baby, goin' on a dream now
