Lyrics
OFFSHORE
© RICK STEFFEN
I'M LOOKIN AT THE SUNRISE - HIGH ABOVE THE WATER
I'M SAILIN ON A STEADY BLOWIN BREEZE
IT'S TAKIN ME TO SOMEWHERE - I WON'T BE MISTAKEN
A PLACE WHERE I CAN LOVE AND BE AT EASE
I WOKE UP THIS MORNIN - A HOPIN AND A YAWNIN
TO CATCH SIGHT OF A PLACE I'VE NEVER SEEN
I'VE BEEN CRUISIN ON AN OCEAN - OF ENDLESS COMPLICATIONS
SEARCHIN FOR A REST TO OLD ROUTINES
AND I'VE COME....SO....FAR...
I'M ALMOST.... OFFSHORE....
AND MY.... FEELINGS - BEGIN TO SOAR
I'M ALMOST .......OFFSHORE
ALL MY SENSES TELL ME - THE FOAMY BRINE COMPELLS ME
TO BREATHE AN EVEN LARGER BREATH OF AIR
THE SWELLING OF THE OCEAN - IS GIVIN ME THE NOTION
TO THROW AWAY MY TROUBLES AND MY CARES
CHORUS
THIS GOOD SHIP AND THE CAPTAIN - THEY'RE FUSSIN AND A SCRAPPIN'
SQUEEZIN' SOME MORE SPEED OUT OF THE AIR
I'M FEELIN LIKE A LEGEND - UNCOVERING AN OCEAN
DISCOVERING A PLACE THAT WASN'T THERE
CHORUS
