Lyrics Roger Hodgson

Roger Hodgson

Land Ho

Please don't turn me away

please don't leave me alone

Oh I'm not asking for paradise

I just got to find me a home

I said land-ho, will I be sailing forever

Oh-oh I gotta find some shelter from the cold

Land-ho, will I be searching forever

Oh-oh I gotta find an anchor for my soul

Well you may think I'm a fool

and think I'm running away

But I've had enough of the city lights

oh I've got no reason to stay

I said land-ho, will I be sailing forever

Oh-oh I need some wind to help me to my goal

Land-ho, will I be searching forever

Oh-oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul

When you're alone there's not a sail in sight

Oh it's cold and dark

and there's no one there to see you through the night

There once was a lady made me feel alright

But she couldn't stay so one lonely day

she just sailed away

And took away my life

Maybe I'll always be sad

and maybe there'll always be strife

Drifting alone with a saddened tone

afloat on the ocean of life

I said land-ho, will I be sailing forever

Oh-oh sometimes I feel my ship is getting old

Land-ho, will I be dreaming forever

Oh-oh I gotta find an anchor for my soul

Will I be sailing forever…
