I sleep in the day
Big boats won't find me at night
I'd hate to go out like that
No true sailor goes down like that
I took a little drink, there ain't much left
Must be at least three days from land
I dreamed of Judy today when I slept
And woke up with my face in my hands
The sun is heavy out here today
After a while, though, it ain't so bad
It ain't any heavier than dreams I've had
Where I can run on the wind
Today I saw my face in the water
Didn't even recognize myself
Then I saw the faces of my daughters
I tried to think of something else
The sun is heavy out here today
After a while, though, it ain't so bad
It ain't any heavier than dreams I've had
Where I can run on the wind
The only reading I brought was the Good Book
I always wanted to learn the whole thing
Talk to myself when my thoughts get too full
When I get tired of talking, I sing
Last night I nodded off in my thoughts
I woke to the sound of the big barge's horn
And life flashed before me in a split-second film
I never wanna let that happen again
The sun is heavy out here today
After a while, though, it ain't so bad
It ain't any heavier than dreams I've had
Where I can run on the wind (x3)
