I Could Have Been A Sailor

[00:14.64] I'm a happy man
[00:18.22] I made my choice in life
[00:21.92] I chose to settle down
[00:25.58] I chose to take a wife
[00:29.17] And I take pleasure in my quiet
[00:33.74] Hearth and happy home
[00:36.46] I never gave my heart
[00:39.15] Its chance to roam
[00:42.74] I could have been a sailor
[00:48.20] And sailed the seven seas
[00:52.76] The wind in my face all day
[00:55.41] Can you taste the salty breeze?
[00:58.27] I could have been a lover
[01:00.93] Watchin' waves before me part
[01:05.58] But I settled for safer harbors of my heart
[01:22.71] I'm a lucky man
[01:26.34] I'm the envy of my peers
[01:30.02] I never ask for favors
[01:32.71] Oh, and I never show my fears
[01:35.46] Surrounded by too many friends
[01:40.06] I am a one-man band
[01:43.65] With all the trappings of a life
[01:48.11] Lived second-hand
[01:49.97] I could have been a sailor
[01:55.42] Rollin' through the night
[01:59.99] My sails before the wind
[02:04.53] Where the star's my only light
[02:05.42] I could have been a dreamer
[02:08.17] Yeah, but dreams just fall apart
[02:12.69] So, I settled for safer harbors of my heart
[02:30.80] And I take pleasure in my quiet
[02:33.51] Hearth and happy home
[02:36.22] I never gave my heart
[02:39.02] Its chance to roam
[02:42.60] I could have been a sailor
[02:49.09] And sailed the seven seas
[02:52.66] Is the wind in your face all day
[02:55.36] And can you taste the salty breeze?
[02:58.94] I could have been a dreamer
[03:01.61] And watch the waves before me part
[03:05.37] But I settled for safer harbors
[03:11.71] Oh, sailor, sailed the seven seas
[03:17.12] Is the wind in your face all day?
[03:22.64] I can taste the salty breeze
[03:24.44] Oh lover, I can see the waves before you part
[03:31.71] Well, I settled for safer harbors of my heart, of my heart
[03:37.15]
