Lyrics:

I was born a restless man, I do my livin’ where I can
And any road or highway is my home
Here today and gone tomorrow, keeping just ahead of sorrow
Knowing I was born to die alone


Left my home when I was ten to try to spread my wings and then
Learn about some things I didn’t know
Labor cruises and gangly dancers taught me questions without answers
I (???) on I go



Hear the sea in my destiny is calling me, calling me away
To travel on
The day I die I know that I will be alone



I go with the memory of the many flavored wine of love
I’ve had the chance to taste but never own
Though I know there’s no denying, love’s a pleasant way of dyin’
I believe I’m born to die alone



Nights I drifted on the river, gazing at the stars so far above
In the dark that is their home
Life is like a lonely river driftin’ on into never
And like every star I’m alone

Hear the sea in my destiny is calling me, calling me away
To travel on
The day I die I know that I will be alone
