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
