watched the sailboats sailing, felt the salty sea wind blow Held captive by such beauty, time's motion rocks my soul This picture postcard morning drinking coffee on the sand The children calling "Mommy, Mommy, come and hold my hand" Refrão Dance over the water I watch the children as they play Dance over the water I'll be as free as them someday My mind slips back to times when the earth was thought a square A terrifying mystery, sea dragons lived up there My time machine begins to work, I see the pirate ships Enraptured till I taste some salt air upon my lips (Refrão) The sun is seeking rest, it's leaving now for goodbye My wind burned face is cooled by the orange and purple sky If only dreams were magic things, if only for a day I'd wish that I could be a bird and simply fly away (Refrão - 2x)
