I sit by the harbor The sea calls to me I hide in the water But I need to breath. You are an ocean wave my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave my Love If only I could find out the way to sail you Maybe I'll just stow away I've been run a ground So sad for a sailor I felt safe and sound But needed the danger You are an ocean wave my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave my Love If only I could find out the way to sail you Maybe I'll just stow away You are an ocean wave my love Crashing at the bow I am a galley slave my Love If only I could find out the way to sail you Maybe I'll just stow away Stow away Stow away
