Lyrics

Chorus:

But when I linger on your softness

and when I´m dreaming ´bout your smile.

Then there's no doubt I'm getting closer

and I will sail another mile.

1. I cleared the ship when you were sleeping,

I set the sail when morning rose.

I had to find a yard to tender

where love is all we've got to lose.

2. I´ve been around the pearl of islands

and I have sailed the open seas.

Still I have never found the harbor,

where we could rest and find some peace.

3. I sailed in storm, I sailed in darkness,

I sailed where no one´s left to tell.

And all that saved my soul from drowning:

A star so bright before it fell.

4. I saw a glimpse of hidden gardens,

I heard the sound of golden bells.

But when I closed the gap of distance,

it was a land of someone else.

5. So I am still out on the water,

looking for signs beyond the streams.

No longer sure what might be wonder

or just a chip of morning dreams.
