Waves keep on callin', I can't stay long
Another port, another night, then I'm movin' on
But I see her in the distance, with those lighthouse eyes
Shinin' so bright, but I'm wise to those ties
She wants an anchor, but I'm wind in sail
A heart at sea, I don't need that tale
The open waters' where I belong
And when you're standing on the shore, you're stayin' too long
I'm too close to the coast, feelin' the pull
One step further, and I'll lose my hull
I can't be landlocked, not tied to one post
Gotta drift away, 'cause I'm too close to the coast
She's the eye of a hurricane, calm at first sight
But I've been in that storm before, I know that plight
I've danced that danger; I won't be lost
I know that kind of love comes at too high a cost
She's casting lines, but I won't be caught
I'm nobody's trophy, no prize to knot
Ah, I really hate to let her go
But I've got my yacht, and that's what I know
I'm too close to the coast, feelin' the pull
One step further, and I'll lose my hull
I can't be landlocked, not tied to one post
Gotta drift away, 'cause I'm too close to the coast
She wants an anchor, but I'm wind in sail
A heart at sea, I don't need that tale
The open waters' where I belong
And when you're standing on the shore, you're stayin' too long
I'm too close to the coast, feelin' the pull
One step further, and I'll lose my hull
I can't be landlocked, not tied to one post
Gotta drift away, 'cause I'm too close to the coast
I'm too close to the coast, feelin' the pull
One step further, and I'll lose my hull
I can't be landlocked, not tied to one post
Gotta drift away, 'cause I'm too close to the coast
