sailing nights

Singer: bob seger

like the wind that carried ahab

to a far

more distant shore

to a shipwreck that was certain

long before. i can see there's no use sailing

among ships i've known before. it will only bring me more

and more and more

lonely sailing nights

more

racing

dimming lights. lonely nights

and all too

familiar sights. just as water seeks its level

so i only seek to live;

hoping somehow i can find

a way to give. and the sea

it softly beckons

come and go where you've not been."
