Lyrics

[Lost Sailor] [Verse 1] Compass card is spinning Your elm is swingin' to and fro Ooh, where's the dog star? Ooh, where's the moon? [Chorus] You're a lost sailor You've been way too long at sea [Verse 2] Some days the gales are howling Some days the sea is still as glass Ooh, reef the main sail Ooh, lash the mast [Chorus] You're a lost sailor You've been way too long at sea Now the shore lights beckon You say there's a price for being free [Bridge] Hear the sea birds cry There's a ghost wind blowin' And it's calling you, to that misty swirling sea 'Til the chains of your dreams are broken No place in this world you can be [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] You're a lost sailor You've been way too long at sea Now the shore lights beckon We hear there's a price for being free [Outro] Maybe drift your life away now Drifting and dreaming 'Cause you're going for a dream Going for a feeling 'Cause there's a place you've never been Maybe a place you've never seen now You can hear them calling on the wind Hey, going for a dream and going on a feeling They're going on a feeling Hey now, drift your life away now Drifting and dreaming, yes, and going on a dream Going on a feeling Maybe going on a feeling Maybe going on a feeling [Saint of Circumstance] [Verse 1] This must be heaven Last station on the line You, you must be an angel What else could be so fine? Was that you I heard singing On the time I was chasing dreams? Driven by the wind Like the dust that blows around [Chorus] And the rain fallin' down no— [Verse 2] Well, yes, this is heaven 'Cause here's where the rainbows end Sure feel like the real thing If it ain't, we can just pretend But when that wind blows And that rain about to fall I can hear the sirens call It's a certain sort of sound [Chorus] When the rain fallin' down [Bridge] Holes in what's left of my reason Holes in the knees of my blues Odds against me been increasin' But I'll pull through Never could read no road map No, I don't know what the weather might do Hear that witch wind whinin' See that dog star shinin' I've got a feelin' there's no time to lose No time to lose [Verse 3] Yes, this is heaven But even rainbows will end Now my sails are fillin' And the wind is willin' And I'm good as gone again I'm still walkin', so I'm sure that I can dance Like a tiger in a trance Just a Saint of Circumstance In the rain fallin' down [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Well, I sure don't know what I'm going for But I'm gonna go for it for sure Yeah, I sure don't know what I'm going for But I'm gonna go for it for sure Well, I sure don't know what I'm going for (Maybe going on a feeling) But I'm gonna go for it for sure Hey, I sure don't know what I'm going for But I'm going to go for it for sure (Going on a feeling)
