Lost Sailor / Saint of Circumstance (Live at Cape Cod Coliseum, South Yarmouth, MA, October 27, 1979)

[Lost Sailor]

[Verse 1]
Compass card is spinning
Your elm is swingin' to and fro
Ooh, where's the dog star?
Ooh, where's the moon?

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea

[Verse 2]
Some days the gales are howling
Some days the sea is still as glass
Ooh, reef the main sail
Ooh, lash the mast

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea
Now the shore lights beckon
You say there's a price for being free

[Bridge]
Hear the sea birds cry
There's a ghost wind blowin'
And it's calling you, to that misty swirling sea
'Til the chains of your dreams are broken
No place in this world you can be

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea
Now the shore lights beckon
We hear there's a price for being free

[Outro]
Maybe drift your life away now
Drifting and dreaming
'Cause you're going for a dream
Going for a feeling
'Cause there's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen now
You can hear them calling on the wind
Hey, going for a dream and going on a feeling
They're going on a feeling
Hey now, drift your life away now
Drifting and dreaming, yes, and going on a dream
Going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling

[Saint of Circumstance]

[Verse 1]
This must be heaven
Last station on the line
You, you must be an angel
What else could be so fine?
Was that you I heard singing
On the time I was chasing dreams?
Driven by the wind
Like the dust that blows around

[Chorus]
And the rain fallin' down no—

[Verse 2]
Well, yes, this is heaven
'Cause here's where the rainbows end
Sure feel like the real thing
If it ain't, we can just pretend
But when that wind blows
And that rain about to fall
I can hear the sirens call
It's a certain sort of sound

[Chorus]
When the rain fallin' down

[Bridge]
Holes in what's left of my reason
Holes in the knees of my blues
Odds against me been increasin'
But I'll pull through
Never could read no road map
No, I don't know what the weather might do
Hear that witch wind whinin'
See that dog star shinin'
I've got a feelin' there's no time to lose
No time to lose

[Verse 3]
Yes, this is heaven
But even rainbows will end
Now my sails are fillin'
And the wind is willin'
And I'm good as gone again
I'm still walkin', so I'm sure that I can dance
Like a tiger in a trance
Just a Saint of Circumstance
In the rain fallin' down

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Well, I sure don't know what I'm going for
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
Yeah, I sure don't know what I'm going for
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
Well, I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Maybe going on a feeling)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
Hey, I sure don't know what I'm going for
But I'm going to go for it for sure
(Going on a feeling)
