Can’t help it but at each day’s end,
I look at you my life-long friend
and wish that we could somehow sail away.
Just sell it all and disappear,
go buy a ship and without fear
set off into the sun to make our way.
 
The ship would not have to be fine,
as long as you and it are mine
all else could pass away, I just don’t care.
For life’s what we choose it to be,
so why not make our home the sea
and live amongst the gulls so unaware.
 
But yeah, I know that’s all a dream,
and likely only mine twould seem
for I can see the smile behind your eyes.
So, I’ll keep dreaming of that time
when all our dreams can both align,
then we will sail away into the skies.
