The Cabin Boy
I dreamed I was a cabin boy.
I sailed to foreign shores.
I looked into your eyes and found
what I was looking for.
I sailed upon a sea of grief.
My heart was full of woe.
I turned around and walked away
and you didn't watch me go.
When my ship comes back to port
I'll be with you again
But my hearts on that ocean love
and it won't sail back in.
My heart sails the seven seas.
It sails the ocean wide.
I'll never find a port for it
and I'll not be your bride.
The day I found the one I love
That day I lost him too.
My heart was broken then my love
but I know you never knew.
I'll keep on sailing o'er the sea
and no matter where I roam
I'll never find another love
and I'll not find a home.
