First it was your eyes, I told my friend, I said
I can see the whole sky in those eyes, I said, and
I see the ocean, and better than a boat upon the tide,
Suddenly the call of the open sea, and I feel the pull, inside....
So I put up my sails and I waited upon the wind
Oh from some bad weather and storms they've been torn sometime,
And they're wearing thin
But there seemed to be a cool breeze,
Oh there seemed to come a breath of life on the wind
But it seems that it comes and it goes away again
You and I know it's only me, you and I know we both have to wait and see
But you and I know you know that I could love you
You and I know its only sadness bring me on this kind of madness
Oh but I know you know.........
Imagine her surprise when I told my friend, I said oh
Here is my salvation and my delight, my laughing stream I said
And I gaze on the water
And I imagine how the waves and the swirls must feel
I want to feel it against my skin, running through my veins... how I long to dive in
Oh I know it's only me, you and I know we both have to wait and see
But you and I know you know I've been wishing....
I wasn't goina tell you, oh I didn't mean to let me secret out
I intended to keep my distance, my cool, and take the easy way out
I planned to keep my silence, but I'm rambling and I pray that you won't understand
And I pray that you will, and I will feel the wind rise up again...
Will you blow me away sweet wind of the water, friend of the sailor have mercy on me
Will you carry me back to the places of silence, oh you gotta rescue me
For the river of longing is far too wide for my little ship and me
But if you send me a sign I'll wait on the wind to catch up my sails and me............
