There was a time,
There was a place I loved.
That was my moment,
That's just the way it was.
Careless and crazy,
Running to God knows where.
Now where is that heartland?
Where is the one who cares?

I can hear you calling:
"Wandering boy, come home soon."
I hear the music,
I see your face in the moon.
Who am I fooling?
There's no need for me to pretend.
I might sail forever,
And never find that island again.

I fight with my mem'ry,
Find all the pieces I can.
Of a beautiful woman,
Who trusted her heart in my hands.
Now what kind of sailor,
Would let such a dream get lost?
Tonight we'd be sailing,
Out under the Southern cross.

I can hear you calling:
"Wandering boy, come home soon."
I hear the music,
I see your face in the moon.
Who am I fooling?
There's no need for me to pretend.
I might sail forever,
And never find that island again.

Who am I fooling?
There's no need for me to pretend.
I might sail forever,
And never find that island again.
I could sail forever,
And never find that island again.
