Lost Sailor

I am like a lost sailor
Felling the wind like a old friend
Tasting the sault in my lips
Hearing the chants of the deep
And yet I am lost in your ocean

I am like a lost sailor
Waiting for the clouds to dissipate
Trying to find the right star
That will guide me to your heart
Where I believe I will find it all

I am like a lost sailor
A ghost in this old and greasy deck
And yet I have so much to show you
And yet I have so much to give you
Why am I not worthy?

I am like a lost sailor
I know what is in this path
For my wounds are dear enough
And my heart is tireless
And still yearns for you, my star of the east
