When I was a boy, I wanted to go sailing Live out on the sea, with harpoon I'd go whaling Oh to get away, to sail the open waters The breakers and wind they would spell out my fate Walk into my dream, I dreamt I was a captain Searching for a place that had never been found Sailed to distant shores, in all the ports and harbors I'd find a place that reminds me of home Now I am a man, and never have I wandered Somehow I let my dreams slip away But every now and then, I slip into a slumber And find my way back to the ocean again
