Lyrics   © Dan Edelstein  2012

​

male voice
I was a wanderer, I was a scoundrel
I was born to be alone
I sail the dark seas, my mainsails protect me
I was born to be alone



female voice
Before you turn away again
Before you say goodbye
Learn to say hello again
Learn to trust your heart



male voice
I have known passion, love came a-callin’
It stayed for awhile, then left me alone
I can remember the joy and elation
Love’s celebration, the pain when it’s gone



female voice
Before you turn away again
Before you say goodbye
Learn to say hello again
Learn to trust your heart



male & female voices
Ride the winds of hope
Ride the sea of love, my friend
Storms and reefs have battered you
But sail into the wind
Though tattered are your sails
And weary are your bones, my friend
You can navigate the stars to find your way back home



male voice
I can see the lighthouse in the distance,
Nothing else but darkness, it’s all the same
I can hear the crashing of the ocean
I can hear myself call your name



[combine the last two parts with harmony]
