Intro: - (4x) The lights of the freighters, they danced on the water As they tugged at the anchors that held them at bay And lost in her arms, boys, I too was dancing - I traded the sea for the shore I traded the sea for the shore INTERLUDE: - (4x) The light from the moon turned the wet streets to silver As we walked hand in hand up the road from the bay And me glancing backwards from where I had come, boys - I traded the sea for the shore - I traded the sea for the shore The lights from the streetlamps cast haloes upon us As we leaned by the railing at the foot of her stairs I touched her cheek lightly, the skies now are clearing - I traded the sea for the shore I traded the sea for the shore INTERLUDE: - (4x) The light from the sun, well it shone through the curtains Touched the edge of her shoulder, caught the glow in her eyes The horn of the freighter called, "Home, wayward sailors" - But I traded the sea for the shore - I traded the sea for the shore I traded the sea for the shore
