It's the end of the day
The dark is around me
But I see yellow light
That cuts the way through dark night
That light is the way of life
Where the ship must be going
To keep me away from you
And my dreams of that crew
Chorus:
When I sail down the river, when I sail across the sea
I know you'll be sailing with me
When I sail on the river, when I sail across the sea
I know you'll be living in me
So I found my fellow-soul
On the dead open sea
And she saved my drowning heart
From your haunting untrue love
For my soul there's no fate
There's no reason for hiding
And now listen what I'm sayin' to you
"Forget my dreams 'bout that crew".
