lyrics

I was a sailor too long at sea
All I wanted was to be free
I couldn't just let it be
And wait for the world to come to me

When I picked up the scent
It was close enough to taste it blowing in
As soon as I chased it on the wind
It shifted away and was gone again

I took the current where it leads
I tried not to wind up in the weeds
Always a drifter out to see
What else the world could offer me

When I picked up the scent
It was close enough to taste it blowing in
As soon as I chased it on the wind
It shifted away and was gone again

Doesn't matter now where I've been
Seven seas and back again
Without a reason in the end
I'm just out there freezing in the wind

When I pick up the scent
I can see it now but I couldn't then
As soon as I chase it on the wind
Well it's shifted away and it's gone again

When I pick up the scent
I can see it now but I couldn't see it then
As soon as I chase it on the wind
Well it's shifted away and it's gone again
Shifted away and it's gone again
Shifted away and it's gone again
