When you wake up, I'll be gone just like a sailor

Hope you know that I didn't want to leave

But I'll be where I always said I'll be

In the place where the light meets the sea.

When you call, I sure wish that I could answer

Hurts, I know, but it isn't up to me

I hope you picture me floatin' in the breeze

In the place where the light meets the sea.

We're all lookin' for heaven

Hope that heaven's lookin' for me

I'm a dreamer and I've always believed

In the place where the light meets the sea.

All your friends say that you should be movin' on

I hate to say it, but darlin', I agree

I was broken, but I finally found my peace

In the place where the light meets the sea.
