80 Miles

Why do I see stars at night?
Everyone else sees the light
And how did I come this far?
I'm sure that I can't fly

Why did you say that to me
80 miles out on the sea?
And I am built with parts of you
And you are built with parts of me

I think its strange that the weather doesn't change
When you are beside me, when you are beside me
I make my plans, but they don't stay the same
When you are beside me, when you are beside me

Oh sailor, oh sailor, take the wheel
Oh sailor, don't measure how I feel

We dance around the fire
We dance around the flame
You settle on the wire
You settle on my name

Take me with you when you go
Now that I know what I know
Across the waves, though the wind is high
We go so slow
