I danced myself into a frenzy at the old Community Hall 'neath star filled skies I staggered along the harbour wall The distant mountains 'cross the bay like sleeping giants lay And I looked towards approaching dawn, and wished that I could stay Warm voices drifted from the decks and lingered in the air Fine malts, fond recollections on a night without care The sheets were blowing on the masts making music of their own And I looked towards approaching dawn and wished I weren't alone Round and round and round Round and round and round Looking for a platform Everybody remembers where you were when your boat comes in From the troubled sea, into your heart In the comfort zone of your harbour walls You're not alone
Round and round and round Round and round and round Looking for a platform Ebb and flow of the spring tide, lulled by the sirens' song, You're becalmed again, no more journeys end Cast adrift on the sea of your distant dreams You're not alone Round and round and round Round and round and round Still looking for a platform Some people search for a life time, never find what they're looking for And they cannot see, wood from the trees When you're on your knees You're not alone Old sailors smile a knowing smile and lead right through the storm And navigate the channels that bring us safely home But ordinary mortals would risk it all To find a way to be at one with all
