I have sailed a boat or two Out on the wild blue Yonder to dreams that rarely come true As far as I can see From the island of green I can put my trust in just one thing [Chorus:] And only love sails straight from the harbor And only love will lead us to the other shore Out of all the flags I've flown One flies high and stands alone Only love Peaceful waters, raging sea It's all the same to me I can close my eyes and still be free When the waves come crashing down And the thunder rolls around I can feel my feet on solid ground [Chorus:]
