lyrics

Sailor's Wife

I used to be a sailor's wife
I sailed his every ocean blue.
I rode his tides and his red-skied nights,
But a sailing life will never do.

I used to be a farmer's wife.
His soil I tilled with care.
But his greens and golds and stories untold.
Left me with nothing to bare.

Then I found you,
You took me for a ride.
You hugged my curves,
Geared up my nerves
To take this road for life.
I'll take this road for life.

I used to be a soldiers wife,
And I marched his thin red line.
But I wave my flag with nothing to save.
A hero's life never was mine.

So I found you,
You took me for a ride.
You hugged my curves,
Geared up my nerves
To take this road for life.
I'll take this road for life.

I used to dream of solitude,
An island in the rough.
But you broke my skin,
Brought out the in.
Lonely is never enough.
No, lonely is never enough.

So I found you,
You took me for a ride.
You hugged my curves,
Geared up my nerves
To take this road for life.
I'll take this road for life.
