A Song A Day #5 - The Sailor & The Storm

Is this the sum of my life
Said the sailor in the storm
Is this the harbour I've been searching for
With riches beyond my wildest dreams


The Sailor & The Storm taken from the album Pushing The Envelope (2000)




THE SAILOR AND THE STORM

AS THE DAY FADES WITH THE RISING SWELL
I SEE THE LIGHTS OF A DISTANT LAND
ALL THOSE LIVES WINDING ON THEIR WAY
LIKE THE TIDES THAT CIRCLE THIS GLOBE


TIMELESS AND ENDLESS BEGINNINGS
AN UNSEEN HAND HOLDS THE COURSE
I'M ADRIFT UPON UNCHARTED SEAS
THE TIME AND DISTANCE BETWEEN


IS THIS THE SUM OF MY LIFE
SAID THE SAILOR IN THE STORM
IS THIS THE HARBOUR I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
WITH RICHES BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS


I CAN TASTE THE SALT UPON MY LIPS
LIKE A MILLION SAILORS BEFORE ME
I'M NO DIFFERENT FROM ANY ONE ELSE
WHO'S TO SAY THAT THIS WON'T BE THE DAY


IS THIS THE SUM OF MY LIFE
SAID THE SAILOR IN THE STORM
IS THIS THE HARBOUR I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
WITH RICHES BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS
