It’s the end of the day The dark is around me But I see yellow light That cuts the way through dark night That light is the way of life Where the ship must be going To keep me away from you And my dreams of that crew
Chorus: When I sail down the river, when I sail across the sea I know you’ll be sailing with me When I sail on the river, when I sail across the sea I know you’ll be living in me
So I found my fellow-soul On the dead open sea And she saved my drowning heart From your haunting untrue love For my soul there’s no fate There’s no reason for hiding And now listen what I’m sayin’ to you “Forget my dreams ‘bout that crew”.
