Through the window I can hear the sea
Pushing me gently from side to side, rocking me
Through the porthole flying fish would dance
Floating like gliders above the surf, my first romance
I only lived in my father's eyes
A child not ready to break the ties
On a ship that sailed the world
He fell in love with another girl
Heading southwards with the sun on board
The wind in my hair, I would dream of him, it seems absurd
Looking backwards it's so far away
Would I have loved him as much if he were here today?
I only lived in my father's eyes
A child not ready to break the ties
On a ship that sailed the world
He fell in love with another girl
Pushing me gently from side to side, rocking me
Through the porthole flying fish would dance
Floating like gliders above the surf, my first romance
I only lived in my father's eyes
A child not ready to break the ties
On a ship that sailed the world
He fell in love with another girl
Heading southwards with the sun on board
The wind in my hair, I would dream of him, it seems absurd
Looking backwards it's so far away
Would I have loved him as much if he were here today?
I only lived in my father's eyes
A child not ready to break the ties
On a ship that sailed the world
He fell in love with another girl
