Oh my darling my dear I have reason to fear
That you know not the man you?re adoring
From the dark salty sea I found refuge in thee
But I?m soon to be loosening my moorings
verse 2
Oh my darling my dear I have reason to fear
That you know not the man you?re adoring
From the dark salty sea I found refuge in thee
But I?m soon to be loosening my moorings
Chorus
And I?ll hold on hope when I let you go
Though you loved me well, I set out alone
And I will trust these winds
That they will not fail
Open up my heart
Let it be my sail
Post-Chorus
verse 3
And I pray when I?m gone you don?t feel I done you wrong
But if so I will seek my repentance
A convicted fool I am chained to the pen in my hand
And my darling I must serve this sentence
Chorus
And I?ll hold on hope when I let you go
Though you loved me well, I set out alone
And I will trust these winds
That they will not fail
Open up my heart
Let it be my sail
Post-Chorus
verse 4
For the day it will come when my traveling is done
And I?ll search for a light on the shoreline
Though I know your harbor slips hold vessels worthier than me
If there?s room would you cast to me your line
Chorus
And I?ll hold on hope when I let you go
Though you loved me well, I set out alone
And I will trust these winds
That they will not fail
Open up my heart
Let it be my sail
Open up my heart
Let it be my sail
