Sailor

I wrote this for my friend Melissa to sing, she has such an amazing voice, and she's a great songwriter I can't wait to hear what she does with it. I was thinking about that movie, Dear John, and this mug I read at Anthropology, it said "the stormy seas is what kept my sailor from reaching me" Also I was thinking about sometimes people don't want you to love them, but you do anyways, you can't explain it. All that was my inspiration for this one song.

SAILOR

You left a sea between us my dear
And I don’t have the strength to make the swim
I ask you to meet me half way
But your too afraid of diving in

I will wait out the storms for you
I know you are thinking of me
I look up at the moonlight sky for hope
I hope your thinking of me

Come back to me my sailor
I should have never let you set sail alone
Sail back to me my sailor
I can’t conquer this new world on my own

I write this love letter to you
send it out with my heart enclosed
Let the wind bring you my soul
Let the wind please bring you back home

I will wait out the storms for you
I know you are thinking of me
I look up at the moonlight sky for hope
I hope your thinking of me

Come back to me my sailor
I should have never let you set sail alone
Sail back to me my sailor
I can’t conquer this new world on my own

Oh love please don’t put these spells in my head
I know I was only made for one man
Oh love please stop the pain in my heart
Please lift this heaviness off of my chest

Come back to me my sailor
I should have never let you set sail alone
Sail back to me my sailor
I can’t conquer this new world on my own

Come back to me my sailor
I should have never let you set sail alone
Sail back to me my sailor
I can’t conquer this new world on my own
