far out at sea
on an empty ship
that's where i be
always afraid i'd slip
and fall
that be me
that be all

then you came along
with your sly green eyes
and there was a new song
no more goodbyes

for years
there was only
lonely
only tears
and fears
time just passin' bye
all i could do was cry

then you came along
with your sly green eyes
and there was a new song
no more goodbyes

like a horse who sleeps standin' up
each day
i went away
what can i say
now i'm as frisky as a pup

when you came along
with your sly green eyes
there was a new song
no more goodbyes

no more "why's"

that's true
and i thank you
i love you
yup, i do
