Sailor's Tale from Alder Grove by Catch The Rain

A Sailor went to town
And he told me of his journey
All the places he has found
And all that he is learning
Oh he hasn't settled down
And he doesn't have much money
And he may not have a wife
But his life it seems so carefree

Oh the sea will always be
Full of the unknown
That sailor said to me
I'm often on my own
And there's nothing I love more
Than sailing from the shore
And inside I feel alive
And that's how I survive

He said only settle down
If that is where your heart is
But don't let yourself drown
Don't stop before you've started
Or you'll only look around
Always hoping for excitement
And you'll never leave this town
And you'll never find your true love

Oh the sea will always be
Full of the unknown
That sailor said to me
I'm often on my own
And there's nothing I love more
Than sailing from the shore
And inside I feel alive
And that's how I survive

Oh the sea will always be
Full of the unknown
That sailor said to me
I'm often on my own
And there's nothing I love more
Than sailing from the shore
And inside I feel alive
And that's how I survive


And as he sailed away
My heart it filled with sorrow
I don't even know his name
Where will he be tomorrow
