Land Ho

Roger Hodgson

Please don't turn me away, please don't leave me alone


Oh I'm not asking for paradise, I just got to find me a home





I said land-ho, will I be sailing forever


Oh-oh I gotta find some shelter from the cold


Land-ho, will I be searching forever


Oh-oh I gotta find an anchor for my soul





Well you may think I'm a fool, and think I'm running away


But I've had enough of the city lights, oh I've got no reason to stay





I said land-ho, will I be sailing forever


Oh-oh I need some wind to help me to my goal


Land-ho, will I be searching forever


Oh-oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul





When you're alone there's not a sail in sight


Oh it's cold and dark and there's no one there to see you through the night


There once was a lady made me feel alright


But she couldn't stay so one lonely day, she just sailed away


And took away my life





Maybe I'll always be sad, and maybe there'll always be strife


Drifting alone with a saddened tone, afloat on the ocean of life





I said land-ho, will I be sailing forever


Oh-oh sometimes I feel my ship is getting old


Land-ho, will I be dreaming forever


Oh-oh I gotta find an anchor for my soul





Will I be sailing forever...
