Cowboy Junkies Lyrics

"Mariner's Song" lyrics


The last of man's great unchained beasts lies lapping at my door
The last of man's great unchained beasts lies lapping at my door
I would give it what it wants, but I do know,
It would just ask for moreI search for you with every crest I ride
In every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel throughI didn't mean to leave you,
I unfurled my sail and the wind did blow
I didn't mean to leave you, darling,
I unfurled my sail and the wind did blow
Why why why why why, oh why I did not drop my anchor,
Oh Lord, I will never knowI search for you with every crest I ride
In every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel throughOn the lee of the island I hear your voice deep inside the calm
On the lee of the island I hear your voice deep inside the calm
Whispering baby, I'll be your delight, if you promise
To be my red sky tonightI search for you with every crest I ride
In every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel throughIn the storm you are my destination, in the port you are my storm
In the storm you are my destination, in the port you are my storm
But I would weather you my love, if you would be my guide,
If you would be my stars in the sky tonightI search for you with every crest I ride
In every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel through
