I have sailed a boat or two
Out on the wild blue
Yonder to dreams that rarely come true
And as far as I can see
From the island of green
I can put my trust in just one thing

Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love

Peaceful waters, raging sea
It's all the same to me
I can close my eyes and still be free, still be free
When the waves come crashing down
And the thunder rolls around
I can feel my feet on solid ground

Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love

Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love
