Bob Seger - Sailing Nights lyrics

Like the wind that carried ahab

To a far, more distant shore

To a shipwreck that was certain

Long before

I can see there's no use sailing

Among ships I've known before

It will only bring me more

And more and more

Lonely sailing nights, more

Racing, dimming lights

Lonely nights, and all too

Familiar sights

Just as water seeks its level

So I only seek to live

Hoping somehow I can find

The way to give

And the sea, it softly beckons

"Come and go where you've not been"

With the dawning of a new day

I'm gone, again

Lonely sailing nights, gone

Racing, dimming lights

Lonely nights

And all too

Familiar sights
