Cowboy Junkies - Mariner's Song Lyrics
The last of mans great unchained beasts lies lapping at my doorThe last of mans great unchained beasts lies lapping at my doorI would give it what it wants, but I do know,It would just ask for moreI search for you with every crest I rideIn every trough I travel throughI search for you in every trough I travel throughI didnt mean to leave you,I unfurled my sail and the wind did blowI didnt mean to leave you, darling,I unfurled my sail and the wind did blowWhy 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 rideIn every trough I travel throughI search for you in every trough I travel throughOn the lee of the island I hear your voice deep inside the calmOn the lee of the island I hear your voice deep inside the calmWhispering baby, Ill be your delight, if you promiseTo be my red sky tonightI search for you with every crest I rideIn every trough I travel throughI search for you in every trough I travel throughIn the storm you are my destination, in the port you are my stormIn the storm you are my destination, in the port you are my stormBut 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 rideIn every trough I travel throughI search for you in every trough I travel through
