D A
Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight
D A
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
D A
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
D A
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight
D A
And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night
D A
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
D A
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
D A D
And dream of how our life will someday be, when she sails away with me
As I skip across the waves my sails are high and full
My mind is on the one I wait to see
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind
Where someday I will take her off with me
Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow
I see a lady on the side
But she will wait no more as I head for the shore
Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride
Chorus
