lyrics

I saw a friend I used to know
In Monterey a year ago
I saw him waving by the rail
While he was waiting for his ship to sail

The wind was strong and waves were high
His suit was soaked his eyes were dry
He kept on smiling down at me
He turned around and yelled into the sea

I’m free
Free from wandering highways
I’m free
From sleeping alone in the park
I’m keeping my eyes on
The fleeting horizon
I’ll be where the sea is kissing the sky
It’s welcoming me – forever goodbye

He was the friend I used to know
He’d run as far as he could go
And he believed in the old tale
Where Jonah finally escaped the whale

His arms was strong his head was high
He stayed that way as weeks went by
He felt as safe as he could be
But Triton pulled him down into the sea

I’m free
Free from wandering highways
I’m free
From sleeping alone in the park
I’m keeping my eyes on
The fleeting horizon
I’ll be where the sea is kissing the sky
It’s welcoming me – forever goodbye

I saw a friend I used to know
A week ago in Mexico
His skin was pale his lips were dry
I felt the teardrop falling from his eye

“My ship was strong and good,” he said.
“There’s not a thing I would regret.
I thought my death would come at sea,”
He said and smiled and whispered back at me

I’m free
Free from wandering highways
I’m free
From sleeping alone in the park
I’m keeping my eyes on
The fleeting horizon
I’m greeting the new dawn
By turning the light on
I’ll be where the sea is kissing the sky
It’s welcoming me – forever goodbye

Son Of Caesar Denmark

I was born on a mountain with the emperor looking my way. I was raised in a fountain. In the water I'd swim all day. And I wasn't longing for the riverside. I was waiting for the city lights to come on.
