Becalmed

The wind takes me where it knows

The water takes me where it flows

But mind the mizzenmast

And pull the ropes fast

For you are where I go

Read the horizon

Measure the stars

Give the buy-in

Set forth the spar

Hoist the anchor

Sings the shanty man

I can't help but thank her

For giving me a plan

Climb on the rigging

Sail out to crew

Give the order ribbing

And travel to you

The wind takes me westward

The waters push east

I'll be becalmed

With you as my peace

A sailor needs motion

A captain needs a crew

But my heart is sailing

Only for you

Give me a fast ship

And I'll sail the seas

Give me a raft and

I'll still catch the breeze

Read the currents

Change the tack

I have the endurance

To stay on track

There is no storm

That can stop me in ton

For I will return

To you my sweet one

The wind takes me westward

The waters push east

I'll be becalmed

With you as my peace

A sailor needs motion

A captain needs a crew

But my heart is sailing

Only for you

The wind is fickle

The waters are warm

The lines are twisting

And out goes alarm

The anchor is heavy

The waves they crash

And onto the reefs

Hope can be dashed

But call me brave

Or just single minded

There's only one treasure

This sailor be findin

For you are the X

On this sea chart

You are my love

And you have my heart

And you have my heart

The wind takes me westward
