THANKS TO YOU
Summer 1985, Brooklyn NY
Thanks to you I've stayed afloat
You patched a hole in the bottom of my boat
And when the sea is dark with storm
You part the clouds and you keep me warm
Thanks to you, I've found direction; I'm no longer lost at sea
You're that light out on the island, guiding me
And though I sail through choppy water, and I brave the blackest night
I will always know exactly where my home is
Thanks to you
Thanks to you, I'm safe and dry
Somehow you keep salt spray from my eyes
And when the wind's a hurricane
Somehow you make it calm again
Thanks to you, my skies are clear; a million stars now light my way
And the moon, she's almost shinin' bright as day
And as far as I can see, the sailing's smooth as it can be
And of course, I know exactly where my heart is
Thanks to you, I'm no longer in mortal danger
Thanks to you, I have steered from rocky shores
Thanks to you, I no longer feel like a stranger
Thanks to you, I know what I am livin' for...
