Sailing Nights
Bob Seger
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
Gone, racing, dimming lights
Lonely nights, and all too
Familiar sights.
Just as water seeks it's level
So I only seek to live
Hoping somehow I can find
A 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
