lyrics

If I had a sailing boat
I would travel far from this place
And you can wait for me
But I would never come back
Because I've been here before

I wish to hear my boat upon the ocean
And know the sea lies just beneath my feet
I want to feel like I'm walking on water
Not running round in circles
Time and time again

Loneliness and storms and rocks
I would still carry on
And you may wait for me
But I would never return
Because I've done all that before

I wish to hear the sails catch the wind
And taste the sweetest salt upon my lips
And know for sure that I'm heading in one direction
Not running round in circles
Time and time again

To see the night all spattered with stars
And know the world is curling all around me
To see its sparkling reflection in the ocean
I could fall starwards or I could fly down
Not run round in circles until I drown

And if I had a sailing boat
Would I travel so far from this place
And would you wait for me
And would I ever return
Because I've loved you before
