Jerry Garcia
Lost Sailor (Live at Nassau Coliseum, May 15-16, 1980)
[Verse 1]
Compass card is spinning
Your elm is swingin' to and fro
Ooh, where's the dog star?
Ooh, where's the moon?

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been too long at sea

[Verse 2]
Some days the gales are howling
Some days the sea is still as glass
Ooh, reef the main sail
Ooh, lash the mast

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea
Now the shore lights beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free

[Verse 3]
Hear the sea birds cry
There's a ghost wind blowin'
It's calling you, to that misty swirling sea
'Til the chains of your dreams are broken
No place in this world you can be
[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea
Now the shore lights beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free
Yes, for being free

[Bridge]
Drifting, you're drifting
Drifting and dreaming
Drifting and dreaming
Maybe going on a dream
Maybe going on a feeling

[Outro]
'Cause there's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen now
You can hear her calling on the wind now
Drifting and dreaming
Go on and drift your life away
Drifting and dreaming, drifting and dreaming
'Cause there's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen now
Drifting and dreaming
Yes, I'm going on a dream
Maybe going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling
