Half of my life I′ve been nearing my destination ′cause I followed the footsteps of many a mariners dreams I′ve been a ramblin′ rover but before my time it is all over Save my soul from the burnin′ wave I crossed the ocean wide without no termination The shinin′ stars were gift to me and to the dark and emtpy skies I don′t mind the weather whenever the ocean gale will gather Save my soul from the burnin′ wave Save my soul from the burnin′ wave [Chorus:] Take my breath like the wind on the ocean
Rock me down like the tide rollin′ back to shore Steal my heart beatin′ in thunderin′ motion Save my soul from the burnin′ wave Save my soul from the burnin′ wave Half of my life I thought I don′t need no navigation Up and down the seven seas where the stormy billows do leap When far I roam across the main ′cause I′m sailin′ round the world again Save my soul from the burnin′ wave Winds blew high the tide is flowing with the gale Waves do roll when far I roam across the foam [Chorus]
