While the Whole World Sleeps lyrics

See the lights across the bay

sail towards another day,

one hand on the wooden wheel

while the whole world sleeps.

Lighthouse lonely on the hill

cools down grey, the town is still.

Limitless the ocean seems

while the whole world sleeps.

See the lights across the bay 

sail towards another day,

catch the wind in canvas wings

while the whole world sleeps.

Watch a gentle falling star

as we move out beyond the bar,

leave nothing but our week behind

while the whole world sleeps.

Far behind, 

our troubles slowly sinking,

the world still spinning round,

we're just drifting, drifting, drifting,

while the whole world sleeps. 

Drifting, drifting, 

while the whole world sleeps.

See the lights across the bay 

sail towards another day.

Each one flickers, then is gone

while the whole world sleeps.

Sky begins where ocean ends,

reflect each other like old friends.

Slowly move towards the sun

while the whole world sleeps.

Far behind, 

our troubles slowly sinking,

the world still spinning round,

we're just drifting, drifting, drifting,

while the whole world sleeps. 

Drifting, drifting, 

while the whole world sleeps.

Drifting, drifting, 

while the whole world sleeps.

Drifting, drifting, 

while the whole world sleeps.
