| It's
a long time I been gone Sailing wooden ships in the evening sun Feel the waves and the mighty tide Far ahead of all the fleet Feel the wooden deck beneath my feet On a ship on the ocean wide And all my mates they live their seasick lives in peace Their yesterdays just lost tomorrows But I'm standing at the wheel Headin' for horizons I can't see On the west wind I ride Now I'm walking along the sands Got the see round my feet and my clothes in my hand And the red sun paints the sky And I come down from the dunes Where I walked around all the afternoon Heard that lonesome seagull cry I left my name there I guess I'll never take it back I walked the shore till the tide washed away my tracks Lookin' for some place To find a brand new name and a brand new face On the west wind I fly |
