Lyrics

Sailing on the Spanish Main (Chorus)
Dreaming of a life that?s plain
Climbing up the timbered mast
Gazing out into the past

The rain was falling when we met
Your empty heart had rooms to let
We crossed swords upon a bridge
Two mixed-up and frightened kids

(Chorus)

The river flowed under us
Giving birth to love and trust
Flashing chrome, corroding rust
Kissing in the underbrush

I said, ?I do?; you said, ?We must?
Go for broke, and go for bust
Shooting stars and heating up
Juicy kernels on the husk

(Chorus)

I was too slow, you?re in a rush
Our life was just too soft and plush
Driving sleds and crying ?mush?
It never did come to much

But then we had a bouncing boy
With eyes of teal, an infant joy
You handed him his rattling toy
And turned into my mistress coy

(Chorus)
