lyrics

caught alone at midnight again, the ocean talks to me
rocking round on this creaky boat, a sailor lost at sea
cast my nets out each morning
don't know what I'll catch but I know it's for free
there are many lessons to be learnt at sea

it's been a long time since I've been caught in a storm
could just be that time of year
it's been a long time since I've seen my baby dear
I do hope she's thinking of me

the bobbing and the sway makes me smile
and I'll just close my eyes till then
soon a new day will come the sun will rise
from east to west, from east to west
where land abounds I have not found
common ground you know it comes and goes
comes and goes
the horizon is but a mirror of my past
this mirage can't last forever
last forever

it's been a long time since I stepped in the sand
and felt the grains beneath my feet
it's been a long time since I've held my baby's hand
I do hope she's thinking of me

it's been a long time since I've been caught in a storm
could just be that time of year
it's been a long time since I've seen my baby dear
I do hope she's thinking of me
I do hope she's thinking of me
