lyrics

-------------------------------------------------------------

Last night, lay awake many people,
Some lovers, some were feeling blue
Last night, there were waves on the shoreline,
No matter what we wanted to do.
Whether we're happy or sad,
We never need to be afraid.

We could be sailing across the sea.
(Forever to the Northern lands).
We could be sailing free.
(And ever to the Southern sands).

Last night, many people heard the last dance,
and lovers were the lucky few,
(And last night, there were waves on the shoreline, whichever hearts were broken in two).
Whether we're dying or newly born,
Oh why should we ever be ashamed?
We could be opening our arms to Poseidon.

(Forever to the Northern lands).
And then it's ever to the Southern sands are near, throw the ropes upon the pier.
Rain or shine, free ourselves of time,
Sheer pleasure to be, pleasure to be no-one.

We could be sailing across the sea.
We could be sailing free.

Under the watch of a thousand stars.
Under the watch of a thousand stars.
(For whatever reason we are)
Under the watch of a thousand stars.

Here comes the same story,
It's another war and peace.
But who could ask for more?
Than to wallow in the glory?
Of when you're opening your arms, Poseidon.

Under the watch of a thousand stars.
Under the watch of a thousand stars.
(For whatever reason we are)
Under the watch of a thousand stars,
As if they were not so far.
