The Sailor


Around the world many times over
Searching for something unknown
The sailor travels far and wide
Alone

Many a stranger, he befriends
Many stories up his sleeve
Hard work and passion
His love for the sea

He leads a lonely life
Far too early for his years
The rising sun and the Orion, his friends
The horizon up ahead

Glittering lights of the ports
Some time off with the ale
Still searching far and wide
Still searching for his soul

Finally he hangs his cap
Back at his home and hearth
Still searching far and wide
Still lonely, still alone

He tries to open his heart
He tries a conventional life
He struggles, he tries again
Still searching for his sea
