a lady waits to hold me tight
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
If the weather keeps on holdin'
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet
on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we'll go to sleep together
with the rocking of the water
And dream of how her life will someday be
As I slip across the waves
My sails are high and full
My mind is on the one I wait to see
And I dream about an island
Where someday I will take
on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we'll go to sleep together
with the rockin' of the water
A dream of how our lives will someday be
When she sails away with me
I see the lady on the side,
but she will wait no more
As I head toward the shore,
on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we'll go to sleep together
With the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life
When she sails away, we'll sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we'll go to sleep together
With the rocking of the water
When she sails away, we'll sail away
