"Sailor" lyrics

Just like a sailor on leave from the ship
I am caught in the wind on a shore
Rain in my face and nowhere a trace of a friend or a foe
Out on the river the boats are leaving
Heading for Singapore, engines glowing
Everyone knows where they're headed
With their face to the wind and their future

Sail with me
Oh, my love
On a river of darkness
To a shore of light

Stood in the light of the lamp on the corner
And looked at the shadows
Wondering how I could ever go home again
Out on the river the boats are singing
Scrap of a song I remember from England
Turn your face to the wind and the future

Sail with me
Oh, my love
On a river of darkness
To a shore of light

Through the clouds in the sky
See the shape of the unicorn flight
See the cut of his wings
Hear the song that his ancient voice sings
Ooh

How did I find myself here in the dark
Of deserted shipwrecks?
Turning my collar back up against the cold
Out on the river, the fireworks shining
Sound of a train whistle whining, crying
Turn your face to the wind and the future

Sail with me
Oh, my love
On a river of darkness
To a shore of light
