Cowboy Junkies - Mariner's song lyrics

Lies lapping at my door

The last of man's great unchained beasts

Lies lapping at my door

And I'd be happy to give it what it wants

But I do know it would just ask for more

CHORUS

I search for you in every crest I ride

In every trough I travel through

I search for you in every trough I travel through

I didn't mean to leave you

I unfurled my sail and the wind did blow

I didn't mean to leave you darlin'

I unfurled my sail and the wind did blow

Why why why why oh why, I did not drop my anchor

Oh Lord I will never know

CHORUS

On the lee of the island I hear your voice

Deep inside the calm

On the lee of the island I hear your voice

Deep inside the calm

Whispering baby, I'll be your delight

If you promise to be my red sky tonight

CHORUS

In the storm you are my destination

In the port you are my storm

In the storm you are my destination

In the port you are storm

But I would weather you my love

If you would be my guide

If you would be my stars in the skies above

CHORUS

CHORUS
