Lost Sailor Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Compass card is spinning, helm is swinging to and fro
Ooh, where is the dog star? Ooh, where′s the moon?
You're a lost sailor, you′ve been waybtoo long at sea

Some days the gales are howling, sometimes the sea is still as glass
Ooh, raise the main sail, ooh, lash the mast
You're a lost sailor, been way too long at sea
Now the shorelines beckon, oh, yeah, there is a price for being free

There's a seabird cryin′ and there′s a ghost wind blowing
And it's calling you to that misty swirling sea
′Til the chains of your dreams are broken
No place in this world you can be


You're a lost sailor, well, you′ve been way too long at sea
Now the shorelines beckon, oh yeah, there is a price for being free
Yeah, for being free, being free

Been drifting, you're drifting
Drifting and dreaming, drifting and dreaming
Guess we goin′ on a dream, maybe goin' on a feelin'

This is a place you′ve never been
Maybe a face you′ve never seen now
You can hear them callin' on the wind
Driftin′ and dreamin'
Go on and drift your life away, drifting and dreaming
Guess we goin′ on a dream now

Guess wegoin' on a feeling, goin′ on a feeling
Maybe goin' on a dream now, goin' on a feeling
Maybe goin′ on a feeling, maybe goin′ on a feeling
Maybe goin' on a feeling
