Too Close to the Coast Lyrics

Waves keep on callin', I can't stay long

Another port, another night, then I'm movin' on

But I see her in the distance, with those lighthouse eyes

Shinin' so bright, but I'm wise to those ties

She wants an anchor, but I'm wind in sail

A heart at sea, I don't need that tale

The open waters' where I belong

And when you're standing on the shore, you're stayin' too long

I'm too close to the coast, feelin' the pull

One step further, and I'll lose my hull

I can't be landlocked, not tied to one post

Gotta drift away, 'cause I'm too close to the coast

She's the eye of a hurricane, calm at first sight

But I've been in that storm before, I know that plight

I've danced that danger; I won't be lost

I know that kind of love comes at too high a cost

She's casting lines, but I won't be caught

I'm nobody's trophy, no prize to knot

Ah, I really hate to let her go

But I've got my yacht, and that's what I know

I'm too close to the coast, feelin' the pull

One step further, and I'll lose my hull

I can't be landlocked, not tied to one post

Gotta drift away, 'cause I'm too close to the coast

She wants an anchor, but I'm wind in sail

A heart at sea, I don't need that tale

The open waters' where I belong

And when you're standing on the shore, you're stayin' too long

I'm too close to the coast, feelin' the pull

One step further, and I'll lose my hull

I can't be landlocked, not tied to one post

Gotta drift away, 'cause I'm too close to the coast

I'm too close to the coast, feelin' the pull

One step further, and I'll lose my hull

I can't be landlocked, not tied to one post

Gotta drift away, 'cause I'm too close to the coast
