[Lyric] Lost Sailor Live in Springfield MA September 3 1980 (The Grateful Dead)

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

[Chorus]
You're a lost sailor
You've been 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 too long at sea
Now the shore lights beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free
[Bridge]
Hear the sea birds cry
And 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 too long at sea
Now the shorе lights beckon
Yeah, there's a price for being free
Yeah, for being free

[Outro]
Price for being free
'Cause you're just drifting
Drifting and dreaming
Drifting and dreaming
Maybe going on a dream
Maybe going on a feeling
'Cause there's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen
You can hear it calling on the wind
'Cause you're just drifting
Oh, drifting your life away
Drifting and dreaming, drifting and dreaming
Drifting and dreaming
Maybe going on a dream
Maybe going on a feeling, feeling, feeling
Maybe going on a dream now
Maybe going on a feeling
Maybe going on a feeling, hey
