A sailors life

The sailor looks at a boat and imagines a different life No hat no tie no coat Stardust in his eyes No toil and strife He don’t need a life of luxury He wants freedom He don’t need a kingdom He wants a place where he can smell the sea Not a big screen TV Sail North or South And don’t ask why days are filled with rising and falling tides, With sunsets beckoning His nautical miles On dead reckoning Sail on you salty dog Keep spirits high Through wind and rain and fog Over the ocean and under sunny skies Stardust in his eyes The beauty of the sail the happiness inside No bilge water to bail He’ll never fail a dark and stormy night No fear or fright the will and the motion to challenge the ocean His boat is tough He has a good breeze, a steady hand Even on his knees and he loves it rough He’s made of the tough stuff So he shouts for more You hear him say Give me this day Lets leave this shore Sail on you salty dog Keep spirits high Through wind and rain and fog Over the oceans and under sunny skies Stardust in his eyes See the water trails See the water trails (Bridge) Sail on you salty dog Keep spirits high Through wind and rain and fog Over the ocean and under sunny skies Stardust in his eyes Stardust in his eyes Stardust in his eyes
