"Sailing Nights" lyrics

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

Mm

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"
With the dawning of a new day
I'm gone again

Lonely sailing nights
Gone racing, dimming lights
Lonely nights
And all too familiar sights
