Dedicated to Pirate Dave 'Peel Head' for taking me sailing and cooking the Bonita on his boat during the full moon.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT
I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF FAIR WEATHER LOVERS
THEY ALWAYS LEAVE JUST AHEAD OF THE RAIN
SEARCHING FOR SUNSHINE AND LOOKING FOR PLEASURE
TWO STEPS AHEAD OF THE LAST HURRICANE
IF THIS IS A CHANCE THEN IM GONNA TAKE IT
HEAVEN KNOWS I'VE TAKING CHANCES BEFORE
ITS HARD TO LIVE WITH YOUR EYES ON THE SPARROW
UNLESS YOU FIRST TAKE YOUR FEET OFF THE SHORE
THERE'S NOT A CLOUD UP IN THE SKY
GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY
WE SHOULD SET OUR SAILS FOR SOMEWHERE
OTHER THAT THE SUNNY SIDE OF NOWHERE
FREEDOMS IN THE EAGLES WINGS BABY
LISTEN TO THOSE SEAGULLS SING, MAYBE
LOVE IS JUST A PORPOISE
PLAYING IN THE TROPICAL SUN
LET ME TELL YOU GIRL
THAT OCEAN GET BIG WHEN YOUR
HALFWAY ACROSS IT
AND THIS SHIP OF LOVES SEEN
A LOT OF BAD DAYS
SOMETIMES ITS HARDER TO ROW WITH THE CURRENT
MOST OF MY LIFE I'VE JUST ROCKED ON THE WAVES
IF THIS IS A GAME THEN IM GONNA PLAY IT
I NEED YOUR LOVE LIKE THOSE SAILS NEED WIND
JUST CLIMB ABOARD, GIRL, AND PULL UP THE ANCHOR
NOW IS THE TIME FOR OUR LOVE TO BEGIN
WOO, THERE'S NOT A CLOUD UP IN THE SKY
NOT A CLOUD UP IN THE SKY
NOT A CLOUD UP IN THE SKY
GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY
ITS A FAIRY TALE MORNING
