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.
