don't feel like the right thing to do

but these words, like sea birds

fly out and seem to know what to do



if i can never hold you again

i'll whisper your name on the rain

and i'll sail on heaven's seas with you



sail's tight, wind's right

look back to see the bay bask in blue

under orange and gold, the story unfolds

you sleep like a starfish alone



if i can never hold you again

i'll whisper your name on the rain

and i'll sail on heaven's seas with you



the radio shouts "the pirates are out"

clocked just off the coast of brazil

that night, in twilight

you were shot down for gold I could have scooped from my heart



if i can never hold you again

i'll whisper your name on the rain

and i'll sail on heaven's seas with you
