drift out to sea, rewrite one


the world keeps turning
fire still burns
and I will always wait
for your return
lost in a world
full of doubt and fear
you are the reason
that I'm still here

          take me to the ocean
          point me towards home
          back to a safety
          I have never known
          you sail the Pacific
          effortlessly
          as you 
          drift out to sea

goodbye old paint
my dark-eyed friend
my true compadre
to the very end
you are the one
I'll be missing most
chasing the waves
on a summer coast

          take me to the ocean
          to the town of my birth
          back to a safety
          for which I've always searched
          you sail the Pacific
          effortlessly
          as you 
          drift out to sea

as sailors trust the silver
in the stars above
I'll always know
the presence of your love

          take me to the ocean
          cast me with the wind
          back to a safety
          that has always been
          you sail the Pacific
          effortlessly
          as you 
          drift out to sea
          as you 
          drift out to sea

the world keeps turning
fire still burns
