Dreams of the Sea

[Verse] Eyes on the horizon wanted the waves Chasing the wind sought the unknown Salt in the air dreams in the night Never touched water never set sail [Verse 2] Maps on the wall routes never taken Compass in hand heart still aching Feet on the ground yet mind in the clouds Landlocked sailor yelling out loud [Chorus] Oh! The sea the ocean so wide Longing for freedom in the tide Shackled to earth spirit won't abide Dreams of the sea burning inside [Verse 3] Told by the old stories of yore Ships cutting through waves tales of lore Yet life on the coast held him tight Bitter frustration fuels his fight [Bridge] Waves call louder ghost of a wish Echoes of adventure the sailor missed Regrets heaped high on a life denied Haunted by the sea 'til the day he died [Chorus] Oh! The sea the ocean so wide Longing for freedom in the tide Shackled to earth spirit won't abide Dreams of the sea burning inside
