Sail Those Same Oceans

Sailor's coming home again
From over the ocean
He's been away so long
He's forgotten his name

Left it in a heart somewhere
No one to remind him
Told it to a stranger
She took it away

There comes a time
When you understand
Falling in love
Is part of the plan

And you can stay awake tonight
Thinking up a dozen names
But I can only sleep in your arms
So when I stay awake
I'll sail those same oceans again

So when I tilt my hat
To the breeze of the evening
Succumb to the flowers
Who say they'll marry me

Then my love will walk away
Hang us like a painting
So there's no more changes
No more tales of the sea

You got to get out
Well, I understand
Falling apart
Wasn't part of the plan

And you can stay awake tonight
Thinking up a dozen names
Well, I can only sleep in your arms
So when I stay awake
I'll sail those same oceans again

You got to get out
Well, I understand
Losing yourself
Wasn't part of the plan

Sailor's coming home again
From over the ocean
He's been away so long
He's forgotten his name

Left it in a bar somewhere
One drunken evening
If you talk to strangers, baby
You might not come home

There comes a time
When you understand
Falling in love
Is part of the plan

And you can stay awake tonight
Thinking up a dozen names
Well, I can only sleep in your arms
So when I stay awake
I'll sail those same oceans again

And you can stay awake tonight
Thinking up a dozen names
Well, I can only sleep in your arms
So when I stay awake
I'll sail those same oceans again
