Sailor, oh sailor

 Sailor, oh sailor

Come to me

Lay your sails down white

Tie down the canvass

And down to sleep

We'll sail the deep sea tonight


Sailor, oh sailor come to me 

And live in my big white sheets

Roll on the pillows of my sea

And sail me to my sleep


Rock me, oh rock me big ocean

Until the other side of devotion

Sailor, oh sailor rock me

Rock me like a ship on the sea


Hold up the glass and spy the stars

Each is an eye shining bright

Looking down on us in our starless river

Flowing on into the night


Guide me, oh guide me

Candle Sun

Glow like a silkworm, moon light

Sailor I know you're a ghost but still 

I'll be like your ghost ship tonight
