Lost Sailor Live at The Spectrum Philadelphia PA April 6 1982 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Compass card is spinning
Your elm is swinging to and fro
Ooh, where's the dog star?
Ooh, where's the moon?

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea

[Verse 2]
Some days the gales are howling
Some days the sea is still as glass
Ooh, reef the main sail
Ooh, lash the mast

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea
Now the shore lights beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free
[Bridge]
Hear the sea birds cryin'
There's a ghost wind blowin'
And it's calling you, to that misty swirling sea
'Til the chains of your dreams are broken
No place in this world you can be

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You'rе a lost sailor
You've been way too long at sea
Now the shorе lights beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free

[Outro]
Yeah, for being free
Free don't come easy
Yeah, free don't come for free
What you gonna do?
You know where you're going to
Drifting, yes, you're drifting
Drifting and dreaming, dreaming
Maybe going on a dream now
Whatever holds you now
Maybe going on a feeling, ooh
'Cause there's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen now
You can hear her calling on the wind
Drifting and dreaming, hey
Maybe drifting, maybe drifting off away now
Doesn't much matter anyway, hey
Drifting and dreaming, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey hey
Maybe going on a dream
Maybe going on a feeling, maybe going on a feeling, feeling
