Steady As She Goes

Fair world, nightmares, I am free
Welcome streams of sweet dreams,
That settle over me.
What lies out there no one knows
The tide could bring in anything,
So steady as she goes...
Steady as she goes.

I can't feel her, I lie awake
But she's back home still waiting alone
For morning brings,.
Post-war novels keep us alive
But I know she'll be dying to see me when I arrive.

Hey dear sister how are you?
I've longed to see you ever since you made your stage debut.
We always knew you would be
The most angelic actress this dramatic world would see,
And the critics do agree.

Several state lines keep us apart
But don't lose sleep because I'll always keep you in my heart.
Crashing whitecaps keep us alive
And she knows I'll be dying to see her next time I arrive.

What lies out there no one knows,
The tide could bring in anything
So steady as she goes...
steady as she goes...
steady as she goes.
