Candlelight dies at the window

And the night wind blows soft from the sea

Though I lie in your arms, I'm a thousand miles away

On the waves sailing fast, sailing free



Now I'm bound for the heart of the ocean

I'm riding the sea in my soul

In the dark and the deep

She will rock me to sleep

Down below... where the black waters roll



When the sea birds cry out in the morning

And the sun lays its kiss on the sand

I'll be drawn to the shore

Like so many times before

As I long to be far from the land.



Now I'm bound for the heart of the ocean

I'm riding the sea in my soul

In the dark and the deep

She will rock me to sleep

Down below... where the black waters roll



I can still hear your voice on the trade winds

I can still taste your tears on the foam

But the lure of the tide that I'm feeling inside

Will not rest till my heart finds its home



Now my heart is the heart of the ocean

There are storms from the sea in my soul

I'm restless and deep

And before I can sleep

I must go... where the black waters roll
