Lyrics Becalmed - Leo Sayer

Becalmed

Becalmed on a marble sea
Trying to count the clouds hanging over me
I’m watching as the seagulls fly, high across an empty sky
Over me, over me
Adrift, another crazy scheme
But a man that ventures through an unknown ocean
Has the right to dream
I’m dreaming of another world, where the chequered flag unfurls
Just for me, just for me
I’m waiting — on a dream
I’m waiting
For my life to start
A new phase to begin
It’s just before the dawn
The time every ancient curse appears
Every fear is born
Just watching as the moonlight fades
Extinguishing the night parade
Over me, high over me
I’m waiting — on a dream
I’m waiting
For my life to start
Tomorrow to begin, to begin…
B/V's:
If you move too fast — if you move to soon — you’re never gonna leave this
waiting room
So hold on tight 'til the final scene, and keep real close to your dream
To your dream…
I looked out on a vast expanse of empty endless ocean
Stretching out before me
Offering no answer or salvation
Only that I should wait, I should wait, wait for the wind
