Lyrics
You go to sleep
I'll stay up
Watching the fire
'Til the sun comes up
'Til the river rises
I don't want to lie
I can't see you
In my life
You want to sleep
Right through the storm
Great waves crashing over us
'Til I can't see my left from my right
'Til all the worries
Are drowned in the night
Oh, sailor
Bring me your cards
Keep me on the docks
Fighting in the yards
Hold me steady when I need
Cut me loose when it's right
You are but a shadow
Of the love I had in mind
I know now it wasn't meant to be
You're a wave crashing on shore
I know you never want to be alone
How can you see all the stars through all of the smoke?
How can you see all the stars?
