Farewell nightmares, I am free Welcome streams of sweet dreams That settle over me What lies out there no one knows The tide could bring in anything So steady as she goes... Steady as she goes
I can feel her as I lie awake But she's back home still waiting alone When morning breaks Post-war novels keep us alive And I know she'll be dying to see me when I arrive
Hey, dear sister, how are you? I've longed to see you ever since you made your stage debut We always knew you would be The most angelic actress this dramatic world would see And the critics do agree
Several state lines keep us apart But don't lose sleep 'cause I'll always keep you in my heart Crashing whitecaps keep us alive And she knows I'll be dying to see her the next time I arrive
What lies out there no one knows The tide could bring in anything So steady as she goes... Steady as she goes... Steady as she goes
