Every sailor's song
|
Is taught when they are young
|
That the...of the moon lingers on
|
Something we can't escape
|
Is it salt water or the tides?
|
Mixing the wind and the sea and sing along
|
To whom it may concern
|
I've always tried to learn
|
That the good days need to last
|
Season with a lot of laughter
|
Here and then ever after
|
With poetry and painters from our past
|
|
So I follow the tides
|
On currency falling wild
|
Chalking up the stories and the miles
|
Yes, I follow the tides
|
Big blue eyes
|
And that's the reason I will never lose my smile
|
|
Hoping to catch a wave
|
Looking to misbehave
|
As my lucky star
|
Still shine above the sea
|
Watching the ships roll in
|
I play that Otis song again
|
For the tourists and some mermaids by the sea
|
|
And I follow the tides
|
Got my song lines falling wild
|
World to me should still be free and wild
|
Yes I follow the tides
|
Give me more big blue eyes
|
And that's the reason
|
I will never lose my smile
|
