The Landlocked Sailor

[Verse] He dreams of waves and salty air But stays on shore no ship to spare With anchor tied to land so tight A sailor's heart but out of sight [Chorus] Oh the sailor never leaves the shore Dreams of oceans evermore With a heart that's bound for sea But feet tied down eternally [Verse 2] He watches ships come and they go His own adventure halted though With sea charts old and compass worn His voyages are dreams unborn [Chorus] Oh the sailor never leaves the shore Dreams of oceans evermore With a heart that's bound for sea But feet tied down eternally [Bridge] Waves crash in his mind each night A sailor's will a grounded plight His salty dreams they fade by day His landlocked fate too strong to sway [Verse 3] Tales of the sea he loves to tell Of mermaids' song and ocean's swell But in reality he stays A sailor in a landlocked daze
