Jerry Garcia
Lost Sailor (Live at Recreation Hall, Penn State University, May 6, 1980)
[Verse 1]
Compass card is spinning
Your elm is swinging to and fro
Ooh, where's the dog star?
Ooh, where's the moon?

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been way 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

[Bridge]
Hear the sea birds cryin'
There's a ghost wind blowin'
And 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
[Instrumental Break]

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

[Outro]
Yeah, for being free
Drifting, you're drifting
Drifting and dreaming
Drifting and dreaming
Yes, and going on a dream now
Maybe going on a feeling
'Cause there's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen now
You can hear them calling on the wind
Drifting and dreaming
Go on and drift your life away now
Drifting and dreaming
Yes, and going on a dream now
Yes, and going on a feeling, going on a feeling
And going on a dream now
Going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling, maybe going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling
