Sailor's Tale Lyrics

A Sailor went to town

And he told me of his journey

All the places he has found

And all that he is learning

Oh he hasn't settled down

And he doesn't have much money

And he may not have a wife

But his life it seems so carefree

Oh the sea will always be

Full of the unknown

That sailor said to me

I'm often on my own

And there's nothing I love more

Than sailing from the shore

And inside I feel alive

And that's how I survive

He said only settle down

If that is where your heart is

But don't let yourself drown

Don't stop before you've started

Or you'll only look around

Always hoping for excitement

And you'll never leave this town

And you'll never find your true love

Oh the sea will always be

Full of the unknown

That sailor said to me

I'm often on my own

And there's nothing I love more

Than sailing from the shore

And inside I feel alive

And that's how I survive

Oh the sea will always be

Full of the unknown

That sailor said to me

I'm often on my own

And there's nothing I love more

Than sailing from the shore

And inside I feel alive

And that's how I survive

And as he sailed away

My heart it filled with sorrow

I don't even know his name

Where will he be tomorrow
