Chris De Burgh - Sailor lyrics

Underneath a silver moon, the ship is like a ghost

She's been out there for a week, just waiting for the wind to blow

But now she's off and running and there's nothing I can do

'Cos I am just a prisoner here until this war is through

And I'm singing

Sailor, can you hear me

Sailor, hear my call

Sailor, take me with you

Sailor, take me home

Yesterday I saw a seabird wheeling light and low

Then she sailed off to the west

Like she was telling me the way to go

If I had her wings, my love, I'd be with you tonight

But my last hope has gone, it's drifting out of sight

Wait for me

Oh, sailor, take me to her

Sailor, take me home

To feel the wind, to see the sky

To hear the waves breaking on the shore again

To be with you, to lie with you

To hear your voice echo through the hills again

Oh my darling, wait for me, 'cos I will be there

When it is over, when it is over

Yes, I will return one day

Sailor, take me to her

Oh, sailor, take me home

Sailor, can you hear me

Sailor, hear my call

Sailor, sailor

Sailor, sailor
