Johnny Meyer - Sailing Song

Have you been down to the harbor to see the ships go by
Do you understand the sailor or do you wonder why
A man would leave his wife and home to sail the ocean wide
To stake his fortune with the wind on the evening tide

Do you think about me
The way I think about you
When I return from the deep blue sea
Will you love me true

I remember as a child my father went to sea
My mother cried and held me tight said a farmer I would be
I became my father's son with a wife and family
But the sound of breakers on the bow was calling out to me

Do you think about me
The way I think about you
When I return from the deep blue sea
Will you love me true

I see the fire of the sun shining from the waves
I feel the current of the deep coursing through my veins
I chart my journey by the stars I know them each my name
And I watch them as I wonder does your love remain

Do you think about me
The way I think about you
When I return from the deep blue sea
Will you love me true
