 18791>Words and music by bob seger
 
 Like the wind that carried ahab
 
 To a far, more distant shore,
 
 To a shipwreck that was certain
 
 Long before.
 
 I can see there's no use sailing
 
 Among ships I've known before.
 
 It will only bring me more,
 
 And more and more
 
 Lonely sailing nights, more,
 
 Racing, dimming lights.
 
 Lonely nights, and all too
 
 Familiar sights.
 
 
 
 Just as water seeks it's level,
 
 So I only seek to live;
 
 Hoping somehow I can find
 
 A way to give.
 
 And the sea, it softly beckons,
 
 "come and go where you've not been."
 
 With the dawning of a new day,
 
 I'm gone, again.
 
 Lonely sailing nights, ... gone,
 
 Racing, dimming lights,
 
 Lonely nights,
 
 And all too
 
 Familiar sights.
