Lost Sailor Lyrics - Go To Heaven - Grateful Dead

Compass card is spinning 

Helm is swinging to and fro 

Oh, where is the dog star 

Oh, where's the moon 

You're a lost sailor 

You've been too long at sea 

Some days the gales are howling 

Some days the sea is still as glass 

Oh, raise the main sail 

Oh, lash the mast 

You're a lost sailor 

You've been too long at sea 

Now the shorelines beckon 

Yeah, there's a price for being free 

Hear the sea birds cryin' and there's a ghost wind blowing 

And it's calling you, to that misty swirling sea 

Till the chains of your dreams are broken 

No place in this world you can be 

You're a lost sailor 

You've been away too long at sea 

Now the shorelines beckon 

Yeah, there's a price for being free 

Driftin', you're driftin' 

Yeah, driftin' and dreamin' 

'Cause there's a place you've never been 

Maybe a place you've never seen now 

You can hear them callin' on the wind 

Oh, you drift your life away 

[Incomprehensible] 

Hey baby, drift your life away 

Driftin' and dreamin' 

Really goin' on a dream now 

Really goin' on a dream, really goin' on a dream 

Really goin' on a dream
