(Crowe/Cochran/Adam)



Sailor's coming home again

From over the ocean

He's been away so long

He's forgotten his name



Left it in a heart somewhere

No one to remind him

Sold it to a stranger

She took it away



There comes a time

When you understand

Falling in love

Is part of the plan

And you can stay awake tonight

Thinking up a dozen names

I can only sleep in your arms

So when I stay awake

I'll sail those same oceans again



So when I tilt my hat

To the breeze of the evening

Succumb to the flowers

Who say they'll marry me

Then my lover walk away

Hang us like a painting

So there's no more changes

No more

Tales of the sea



You got to get out

I understand

Losing yourself

Wasn't part of the plan

And you can stay awake tonight

Thinking up a dozen names

I can only sleep in your arms

So when I stay awake

I'll sail those same oceans again



Sailor's coming home again

From over the ocean

He's been away so long

He's forgotten his name



Left it in a bar somewhere

One drunken evening

If you talk to strangers baby

You might not come home



There comes a time

When you understand

Falling apart

Isn't part of the plan
