Lifeline - Michael Franks

Cast upon the wind

When it shifted i drifted

Without a star to steer by

Fowl weather took me by suprise

I felt the sea begin to rise.

You are my lifeline

When love ripped all my sails with rain

You saved me from this hurricane

You are my lifeline

Now im sailing toward the island of your love.

Sailing t’ward the island, sailing t’ward the island

Sailing t’ward the island of your love (x2)

Hurled upon the reef

No lighthouse, no goodnight house

Upon my broken ship

I found no shelter anywhere

Until i saw your …

You are my lifeline

When love ripped all my sails with rain

You saved me from this hurricane

You are my lifeline

Now im sailing toward the island of your love.

Sailing t’ward the island, sailing t’ward the island

Sailing t’ward the island of your love (x2)
