You can't
make up your mind
about my kind
You get scared when I get too near
You turn your love light on
So I can see it at night
Because it turns you on
to feel the fear
You're keeping me at bay
A safe distance from your shore
I'm a sailor, tried and true
And you know I'll be back home
You're keeping me at bay
I'm not so dangerous from far away
But it's danger you desire
like a burning fire
And I'm the one to put out the flame
You crave my attention
But it's beyond my comprehension
Why you invite me in
but then don't want me to stay
Afraid of what you might do
if you finally cut loose
You don't like it when I
sail too far away
You're keeping me at bay,
a safe distance from your shore
I'm a sailor tried and true
And you know I'll be back home, home
You keepin' me at bay
I'm not so dangerous from far away
But it's danger in the air
like a burning fire
And I'm the one to put out the flame
And you're keeping me at bay
A safe distance from your shore
I'm a sailor tried and true
When you know I'll be back for more
You're keeping me at bay
I'm not so dangerous from far away
But it's danger you desire
like a burning fire
And I'm the one to put out the flame
