A dark night at sea
And no one but me
To hold on to these old sails
Who's steering this ship
Oh, and where is the rest of it
Still homesick for a foreign harbor

A home on the range
And a big fire to light the way
These are no cravings of a seafarer
So do what you will with this
My brick of a kiss on your lips
You'll be humming my last words

Take what you need
And if risk leads to ruin
My heart would forgive me
Take what you need
And if risk leads to ruin
My heart would forgive me

My days all look the same
And I've known these walls by name
'Cause my own devils are all heartless lovers
And these sea legs tend to ache
Whenever I stay in the same place
It might be good of me to go
If I go

Would you take what you need
And if risk leads to ruin
My heart would forgive me
Take what you need
And if risk leads to ruin
My heart would forgive me
Yeah if risk leads to ruin
My heart would forgive me

I should know by now
How to close my mouth
How to keep my words
From pouring out

I should know by now
How to close my mouth
How to keep my words
From pouring out
