Words and music by bob seger Like the wind that carried ahab To a far, more distant shore, To a shipwreck that was certain Long before. I can see theres no use sailing Among ships Ive known before. It will only bring me more, And more and more Lonely sailing nights, more, Racing, dimming lights. Lonely nights, and all too Familiar sights. Just as water seeks its level, So I only seek to live; Hoping somehow I can find A way to give. And the sea, it softly beckons, "come and go where youve not been." With the dawning of a new day, Im gone, again. Lonely sailing nights, ... gone, Racing, dimming lights, Lonely nights, And all too Familiar sights.
