If I was a sailor
and I was stranded out at sea
wind blowing slow with my heart in tow
salt stains on my knees
I'd look to the sky
sky is all I'd sea
if I were a sailor at sea

and if I were an explorer
half way to the North Pole
frozen dog sled and a sheet of ice
... a windblown soul
I'd look to the sky
sky is all I'd sea
if I were an explorer, or sailor at sea

But I'm just waiting here baby
waiting for you.
And Lord knows
there's nothing better to do.

and if I were a surgeon
and I'd opened up your heart
half way done with the procedure
and my eyes get heavy and tired
I'd look to my hands
hands are all I'd see
if I were surgeon or an explorer, or a sailor at sea

But I just wait here baby
wait for you.
And Lord knows
there's nothing better to do.

But I'm just waiting here baby
waiting for you.
And Lord knows
there's nothing better to do.
