Compass card is spinning Helm is swingin' to and fro Ooh where's the dog star Ooh where's the moon You're lost sailor You've been too long at sea Some days the gales are howling Some days the sea is still as glass Ooh reef the mainsail Ooh lash the mast You're lost sailor You've been too long at sea Now the shore-lights beckon Yeah there's a price for being free Yeah the sea birds cry There's a ghost wind blowin' It's calling you to that misty swirling sea Till the chains of your dreams are broken No place in this world you can be You're lost sailor You've been way too long at sea Now the shore-lights beckon Yeah there's a price for being free Drifting yeah drifting Yeah drifting and dreaming 'Cause there's a place you've never been Maybe a place you've never seen You can hear her calling on the wind Go on and drift your life away Yeah just drifting and dreaming Maybe drift your life away Drifting and dreaming Yes I'm going on a dream Maybe going on a dream Maybe going on a dream Maybe going on a dream
