80 Miles - Washington

Why do I see stars at night?

Everyone else sees the light

And how did I come this far?

I’m sure that I can’t fly

Why did you say that to me

80 miles out on the sea?

And I am built with parts of you

And you are built with parts of me

I think its strange that the weather doesn’t change

When you are beside me, when you are beside me

I make my plans, but they don’t stay the same

When you are beside me, when you are beside me

Oh sailor, oh sailor, take the wheel

Oh sailor, don’t measure how I feel

We dance around the fire

We dance around the flame

You settle on the wire

You settle on my name

Take me with you when you go

Now that I know what I know

Across the waves, though the wind is high

We go so slow
