63

My thoughts again drift back to you
Like a compass to your star
My sailboat lies crippled
And I wonder where you are

During the night,
I missed the harbor lights
and now my soul is out of tune
63 ft scraped a coral reef
and left me thinking of you

I didn't want to grow old,
I let go of all the things I was too scared to hold
I wish I'd stayed a moment more
I should have killed the engine
and walked back through the door

Is the sun shining
Are your horses riding
Is your lover sighing
Are your tears still drying

In the 10 years since I've seen you
I've sailed the entire Caribbean
For 10 years I've been drowning
I'm just learning to swim again

The rudder broke off when I tried to reverse
and the sea took the hull
my hearts been stowed away so long it's hard to know where else to go

I didn't want to grow old,
I let go of all the things I was too scared to hold
I wish I'd stayed a moment more
I should have killed the engine
and walked back through the door

Is the sun shining
Are your horses riding
Is your lover sighing
Are your tears still drying

In the thick New Orleans summer,
I left you before dawn
wrapped myself around my Harley bike
and by first light I was gone

Sold everything I owned that day
looking for something new
bought a 63 foot sailboat
and named it after you

Is the sun shining
Are your horses riding
Is your lover sighing
Are your tears still drying

Are your horses riding
Is the sun shining
Is your lover sighing
Are your tears still drying
