Lyrics
Beyond The Breakers
Can't be no captain
Without a crew...
But, I was never no captain
Boss was always you
Biggest ship
Is small at sea
But, baby I was an island
When you were here with me
Beyond the breakers
Horizons lie
It's just the salt
Makin' me cry
Her kiss was a compass
Carry me home
Now it's all uncharted
Drifting alone
I stare at the stars
Constellations I know
Looking for you
To lead me home
The deck is quiet
It's coming in threes
Since you've been gone
I can't catch the breeze...
Beyond the breakers
Horizons lie
It's just the salt
Makin' me cry
Her kiss was a compass
Carry me home
Now it's all uncharted
Drifting alone
(Bridge)
I take no delight in red skies at night
I'm sailing dark, no running lights
I know there's more than, one paradise
I'm just hoping I get lucky twice..........
Every day at the bar
Old sailors fade
Highballs n high tides
They just float away
So, set'em up darlin'
Buy the house a round
One more n I'm leaving
Or on dry land I'll drown...
Beyond the breakers
Horizons lie
It's just the salt
Makin' me cry
Her kiss was a compass
Carry me home
Now it's all uncharted
Drifting alone
I'm going...beyond the breakers
Beyond the breakers
Beyond the breakers
Beyond the breakers
