Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight
And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
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
