Sailor's coming home again 
 From over the ocean 
 He's been away so long 
 He's forgotten his name 
 
 Left it in a heart somewhere 
 No one to remind him 
 Told it to a stranger 
 She took it away 
 
 There comes a time 
 When you understand 
 Falling in love 
 Is part of the plan 
 
 And you can stay awake tonight 
 Thinking up a dozen names 
 But I can only sleep in your arms 
 So when I stay awake 
 I'll sail those same oceans again 
 
 So when I tilt my hat 
 To the breeze of the evening 
 Succumb to the flowers 
 Who say they'll marry me 
 Then my lover walk away 
 Hang us like a painting 
 So there's no more changes 
 No more 
 Tales of the sea 
 
 You got to get out 
 Well I understand 
 Falling apart 
 Wasn't part of the plan 
 
 And you can stay awake tonight 
 Thinking up a dozen names 
 But I can only sleep in your arms 
 So when I stay awake 
 I'll sail those same oceans again 
 
 You got to get out 
 Well I understand 
 Losing yourself 
 Wasn't part of the plan 
 
 Sailor's coming home again 
 From over the ocean 
 He's been away so long 
 He's forgotten his name 
 
 Left it in a bar somewhere 
 One drunken evening 
 If you talk to strangers baby 
 You might not come home 
 
 There comes a time 
 When you understand 
 Falling in love 
 Is part of the plan 
 
 And you can stay awake tonight 
 Thinking up a dozen names 
 But I can only sleep in your arms 
 So when I stay awakeI'll sail those same oceans again 
 And you can stay awake tonight 
 Thinking up a dozen names 
 But I can only sleep in your arms 
 So when I stay awake 
 I'll sail those same oceans again
