Down beside these rocks where waves crash like giants Sits a man with his thoughts and a smile Just a song in his heart and a ghost in his mind A lifetime of memories on trial Well the blue of his eyes matches that of the sea Where he knew he always belonged And he faces the wind that is whipping like sin Like a king he takes his crown And he says let these squalls please carry me away Let my life be that of a hurricane Oh I'm stepping out of line Just to leave it all behind So say a prayer for me as I drift out to sea I'm leaving here tonight Well if I should find your good graces in time If I could right what I've done wrong I'd change all your days in so many ways To feel like an old familiar song But the past is the past and the tides they all change We all must float along So I'll face the wind that is whipping like sin Sail on sweet soul sail on And he says let these squalls please carry me away Let my life be that of a hurricane Oh I'm stepping out of line Just to leave it all behind So say a prayer for me as I drift out to sea I'm leaving here tonight
