I Could Have Been A Sailor |
| I’m a happy man |
| I made my choice in life |
| I chose to settle down |
| I chose to take a wife |
| And I take pleasure in my quiet |
| Hearth and happy home |
| I never gave my heart |
| Its chance to roam |
| I could have been a sailor |
| And sailed the seven seas |
| The wind in my face all day |
| Can you taste the salty breeze? |
| I could have been a lover |
| Watchin' waves before me part |
| But I settled for safer harbors of my heart |
| I’m a lucky man |
| I’m the envy of my peers |
| I never ask for favors |
| Oh, and I never show my fears |
| Surrounded by too many friends |
| I am a one-man band |
| With all the trappings of a life |
| Lived second-hand |
| I could have been a sailor |
| Rollin' through the night |
| My sails before the wind |
| Where the star’s my only light |
| I could have been a dreamer |
| Yeah, but dreams just fall apart |
| So, I settled for safer harbors of my heart |
| And I take pleasure in my quiet |
| Hearth and happy home |
| I never gave my heart |
| Its chance to roam |
| I could have been a sailor |
| And sailed the seven seas |
| Is the wind in your face all day |
| And can you taste the salty breeze? |
| I could have been a dreamer |
| And watch the waves before me part |
| But I settled for safer harbors |
| Oh, sailor, sailed the seven seas |
| Is the wind in your face all day? |
| I can taste the salty breeze |
| Oh lover, I can see the waves before you part |
| Well, I settled for safer harbors of my heart, of my heart |
