Gone to Sea

[Verse] He sailed away on the morning tide Left his heart where the shore meets sky With salt in his veins and a tear in his eye He knew the sea would be his life [Verse 2] The wind was strong and the waves rose high But his spirit soared reaching for the sky Far from home where his loved ones sighed He found his soul where the seagulls cry [Chorus] Gone to sea gone to sea Heart's on land but he is free Gone to sea gone to sea Family he dreams 'neath the old oak tree [Bridge] The nights are cold and the stars shine bright He sings aloud to the moon's pale light Though miles apart he feels their love Guiding him like the stars above [Verse 3] In every port he feels their touch Though the ocean's wide he loves them much A sailor's life is wild and free But home is where he longs to be [Chorus] Gone to sea gone to sea Heart's on land but he is free Gone to sea gone to sea Family he dreams 'neath the old oak tree
