Out On The Ocean - Tom Paxton

I left the harbor at break of day, shook out my sail

I’ve got splashes of salty foam coming over the rail

I’m breathing easy ocean air, I’m sailing who the hell knows where

I’m in pure motion out on the ocean

Out on the ocean, out on the sea

No where I need to go, no one I need to be

Wind in my main sail is singing to me

Out on the ocean, out on the sea

Tomorrow sun will find me here out on the sea

And best of all I’ll know that you are here with me

I’ve had my fill of loneliness, I asked you too and you said yes

Joy’s my emotion out on the ocean

Out on the ocean, out on the sea

No where I need to go, no one I need to be

Wind in my main sail is singing to me

Out on the ocean, out on the sea

When we return the things we’ve learned will come back too

And all of life that’s left to live I’ll live with you

And if the winds of life turn into gales

That’s when we will both shake out our sails and we’ll be

Out on the ocean, out on the sea

No where I need to go, no one I need to be

Wind in my main sail is singing to me

Out on the ocean, out on the sea

Out on the ocean, out on the sea
