Out to Sea

I’ve been travelin round
Ended up in this port town
Where the sailors all come to tell their tales
Yeah I’m a wanderin man
Just tryin to find a place to stand
Think I’ve got a ticket for every outbound rail

Yeah I’m goin out to sea
Won’t you please come with me?
I might have a plan to get us out of here
Yeah I’m goin out to sea
Might as well be you and me
There’s a storm on the horizon…I think its ours

I want to be free from this pain
I want to find another name
I want to be the sun in everybody’s eyes
I don’t want to wallow in my sorrow
Don’t want to miss another tomorrow
Here comes my sail… I think I’m gonna ride

Yeah I’m goin out to sea
Won’t you please come with me?
I might have a plan to get us out of here
Yeah I’m goin out to sea
Might as well be you and me
There’s a storm on the horizon…I think its ours

Well the candles burnin low
The coming winter’s bringing snow
I hope this letter finds you safe and warm at home
Through the mist I see the stars
Through the pain, I break these bars
That hold me back and keep me from my dreams
