Lyrics
[Verse]
Oh, if I could sail just one more time,Across to America,With the wind at my back and waves below,But this dream fades with time’s flow.
[Verse 2]
Forty years he toiled away,For a small piece of happiness,Now his camper stands by the bay,Where he often sits with a look of sadness.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every evening he sees the ships,Sailing proud and free,Yachts gliding through the waves,Into the endless dark sea.
Chorus: Dance with me in the dark,Feel the rhythm of my broken heart.Every beat, a tear we shed,A love that’s gone, but never dead.
[Verse 3]
In front of his little home he sits,The sea so near, the horizon so wide,Dreaming of that one journey across the ocean,Of freedom in the distance.
[Verse 4]
Once he wanted to explore the world,To cross the great pond,But now he rests by the harbor,His dreams so far beyond.
Pre-Chorus: Every evening he sees the ships,Sailing proud and free,Yachts gliding through the waves,Into the endless dark sea.
[Chorus]
Dance with me in the dark,Feel the rhythm of my broken heart.Every beat, a tear we shed,A love that’s gone, but never dead.
[Bridge]
His hair is white, his eyes are gentle,Age has quelled his fire,But deep inside burns a sorrow,For dreams he never acquired.
[Verse 5]
He hears the cries of the seagulls,The gentle rocking of the sea,Finds no comfort in the moment,His heart longs for that freedom.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every evening he sees the ships,Sailing proud and free,Yachts gliding through the waves,Into the endless dark sea.
[Chorus]
Dance with me in the dark,Feel the rhythm of my broken heart.Every beat, a tear we shed,A love that’s gone, but never dead.
[Big Finish]
Here at the harbor is my place,The world passes me by,In my dreams I sail away,So free, so free, so free.
But every night, when shadows come,He sees the yachts disappear into the night,And tears rise, for in his heart,He knows he’ll never fulfill this dream.
[voice: old man dark]
Dance with me in the dark,Feel the rhythm of my broken heart.Every beat, a tear we shed,A love that’s gone, but never dead.
[Percussion Break]

Here at the harbor is my place,The world passes me by,In my dreams I sail away,
So free, so free, so free.

But every night, when shadows come,He sees the yachts disappear into the night,And tears rise, for in his heart,He knows he’ll never fulfill this dream.
