lyrics

I keep the sea well behind me
Now the land becomes my friend
No more ships that can sink me
No more ropes that cut my hand
No more water that I can't drink
No more thoughts I can not think

I've washed ashore one time too many
No more wind I can't control

No more captain telling me
That the ocean is the land of the free
I was born here yes I have lived the life
But every sailor says goodbye

I wrote my family come and meet me
On this day I shall return
No more crying of my children
Cause I am never going back again

In every harbour a special friend
But I came here not to stay

I see your shadows against the sunset
I drop the anchor or I cut the ropes
One restless heart that is wanted
If you can keep me we will never part
We will never part
