Big Country Sailor Lyrics

Sailor Lyrics

What would you be if the waves set you free

And the wind in your hair
brought you sailing to me

Tied up on the shore would you weary no
more?

When will it be, when will it be

What would I be if a
hurricane came

Would I be clever, would I be shamed

Would I lie
helpless, cast up on the flames

What will I be, what will I be

I
will be here forever

Till the river runs into the sea

I will always
be silent

And hold my head up

Till we will be sailors no more

Where would we go

To the sand or the snow

Wander in memories or
let them all go

Would we be dreamers, helplessly so

Where would we
go, where would we go

I will be here forever

Till the river runs
into the sea

I will always be silent

And hold my head up

Till
we will be sailors no more

I will be here forever

Till the river
runs into the sea

I will always be silent

And hold my head up

Till we will be sailors no more

Let's run right out of the city
tonight

With our hair tied up and lips sealed tight

I will cry no
more, I said I will cry no more

Like an empty tourist at the world
fair

I could only stand and stare

And let it pass by me, let it
pass me by

I never should have said out loud

That I wanted to save
the world

But I let it slip away, I just let it slip away

The only
thing I wanted to be

Was the perfect one who killed for free

And I
will try no more, I say I will try no more

But now we are together we
won't turn back

Where the boats are burned and the ties are black

And I will cry no more, I will cry no more
