Sailor's coming home again From over the ocean He's been away so long He's forgotten his name Left it in a heart somewhere No one to remind him Sold it to a stranger She took it away There comes a time When you understand Falling in love Is part of the plan And you can stay awake tonight Thinking up a dozen names I can only sleep in your arms So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again So when I tilt my hat To the breeze of the evening Succumb to the flowers Who say they'll marry me Then my lover walk away Hang us like a painting So there's no more changes No more Tales of the sea You got to get out I understand Losing yourself Wasn't part of the plan And you can stay awake tonight Thinking up a dozen names I can only sleep in your arms So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again Sailor's coming home again From over the ocean He's been away so long He's forgotten his name Left it in a bar somewhere One drunken evening If you talk to strangers baby You might not come home There comes a time When you understand Falling apart Isn't part of the plan
