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 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 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 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 this If there's room would you cast to me your line 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
