Seafarer

I tasted salt air when I saw the Seafarer,

He came from nowhere,

I tried hard not to stare,

And into the night air he laid my heart bare.

I felt the warm sand under my cold hands,

And seeped in his sun tan,

It wasn’t what I had planned.

‘Cause he has the heart of a good man,

A heart I don’t understand but I’m gonna learn about

it,

I want to keep this man; I want to sing about it,

I want to call his name; I want to swim into it.

Please, let him have me,

For all that I’m worth and all that I know.

Please, let him have me,

For all that I’m worth, he’s at the centre of my earth.

I tasted salt air when I kissed the Seafarer,

And into his arms deeper,

I fell from old keepers.

And under the warm sand I buried my cold hands,

And into the sea I swam,

Leaving those old plans.

‘Cause he has the heart of a good man,

A heart I don’t understand, but I’m gonna learn about

it,

I want to keep this man; I want to sing about it,

I want to call his name; I want to swim into it.

Please, let him have me,

For all that I’m worth and all that I know.

Please, let him have me,

For all that I’m worth, he’s at the centre of my earth.
