Lyrics
High Seas Of Life
I slip from the harbor head out to the sea
Crystal blue waters surrounding me
I tack to the wind, taste the sea breeze
Tropical heaven on the coral seas
A little more rum, and I think of my wife
What did I do, have I ruined my life
I?ll tell her I?ve changed, become a new man
I promised I will, and I know that I can
When did the skies change, when did they turn black
How am I ever gonna get myself back?
The sea now is boiling, and I am getting cold
I?ve lost my sails, got to find my way home
Alone in my boat, I think now of my wife
Lost and adrift on the High Seas of Life
Years from tomorrow, days from the land
Nothing can save me, unless Fate lends a hand
The storm it has worsened, I?ve lost control
The winds and waves, they?re taking their toll
I look to the stars, there?s none I can see
I?m afraid Fate, she has answered me
In only a moment, my story will end
There is a message I wanted to send
When did the skies change, when did they turn black
How am I ever gonna get myself back?
The sea now is boiling, and I am getting so cold
I?ve lost my sails, got to find my way home
Alone in my boat, I think of my wife
I?m lost and adrift on the High Seas of Life
Oh how I dream of the calm of the sea
A beautiful face smiling back at me
The sea is boiling and I am getting so cold
Lost my sails got to find my way home
When did the skies change, when did they turn black
How am I ever gonna find my way back?
The sea now is boiling, and I am getting so cold
I?ve lost my sails, got to find my way home
When did the skies change, when did they turn black
How am I ever gonna find my way back?
The sea now is boiling, and I am getting so cold
I?ve lost my sails, got to find my way home
Alone in my boat, I think of my wife
I?m lost and adrift on the High Seas of Life
