The sailor sails to be free

From the shackles of soil he slips

For the land cannot love like the sea.

 

Whether steady or calm waters be

A man trusts the salt and the ship

The sailor sails to be free.

 

For good wind and strong tide he makes plea

Cruel mistress and her iceberg grip

But the land cannot love like the sea.

 

Wooden padlock and watery key

Dreams of home the horizon eclipse

The sailor sails to be free

 

Blue surface shimmers seductively

She leaves her salt on his lips

For the land cannot love like the sea.

 

Unshakeable lust has burdened he

Who reached out with tanned fingertips

The sailor wishes to be free

But nothing can love like the sea.
