Mariner’s Song Cowboy Junkies

The last of man's great unchained beasts lies lapping at my door
The last of man's great unchained beasts lies lapping at my door
I would give it what it wants, but I do know
It would just ask for more

I search for you with every crest I ride
In every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel through

I didn't mean to leave you
I unfurled my sail and the wind did blow
I didn't mean to leave you, darling
I unfurled my sail and the wind did blow
Why why why why why, oh why I did not drop my anchor
Oh Lord, I will never know

I search for you with every crest I ride
In every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel through

On the lee of the island I hear your voice deep inside the calm
On the lee of the island I hear your voice deep inside the calm
Whispering baby, I'll be your delight, if you promise
To be my red sky tonight

I search for you with every crest I ride
In every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel through
