Part of Me

There's a part of me that still lives on the water A part of me that you can never keep Tears fill my eyes as I dream of the ocean I see that island paradise in my sleep My fishing boat lies sleeping in the harbor Anchor weighing heavy on the ocean floor I still miss all those nights at sea My fishing boat will sail again no more This was the life that I had chosen From one port to another I would roam Never stayed long enough to be familiar Never knew a place I could call home Sometimes I walk along the shoreline Listening to her song out on the sea That's when I know that someday I'll be leaving The song she's singing is calling me There is something magical in a night at sea There's a million stars hanging all around Untold stories lying behind me New horizons yet to be found Now that my sailing days are over And my life is shifting gears I can still resurrect those memories When I taste the salt in my tears.
