Seafarer

I tasted salt air when I saw the Seafarer

He came from nowhere

I tried hard not to stare

And into the night air he laid my heart bare

I felt the warm sand under my cold hands

And seeped in his sun tan

It wasn't what I had planned

'Cause he has the heart of a good man

A heart I don't understand but I'm gonna learn about it

I want to keep this man; I want to sing about it

I want to call his name; I want to swim into it

Please, let him have me

For all that I'm worth and all that I know

Please, let him have me

For all that I'm worth

he's at the centre of my earth

I tasted salt air when I kissed the Seafarer

And into his arms deeper

I fell from old keepers

And under the warm sand

I buried my cold hands

And into the sea I swam

Leaving those old plans

'Cause he has the heart of a good man

A heart I don't understand

but I'm gonna learn about it

I want to keep this man; I want to sing about it

I want to call his name; I want to swim into it

Please, let him have me

For all that I'm worth and all that I know

Please, let him have me

For all that I'm worth

he's at the centre of my earth
