(Intro)
I've sailed the seas
Time and time again
Lookin' for the answers
Looking for a friend
(V1)
Love is like a rainbow
I followed it to the end
And just when I saw gold
There was nothing I could hold
(Chorus)
One step
One whisper
One ship washed up with the tide
Stranded in the openness
In a storm ..in the night
One step
One whisper
And the madmen walk the sea
Waiting for my open hand
As the lighthouse beckons me
(V2)
If I were the Captain
I'd be standing on the deck
Saluting to the mermaids
With the very last of my breath
(V3)
I'd close my eyes and watch
Cause there's nothing that I could do
But wait for your sweet kisses
Cause you've been spellbound too
(Chorus)
One step
One whisper
And the madmen walk the sea
Waiting for my open hand
As the lighthouse beckons me
