I Could Have Been A Sailor - Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - 9/20/84

I'm a happy man
 I made my choice in life
 I chose to settle down
 I chose to take a wife
 And I take pleasure in my quiet
 Hearth and happy home
 I never gave my heart
 Its chance to roam
 I could have been a sailor
 And sailed the seven seas
 The wind in my face all day
 Can you taste the salty breeze?
 I could have been a lover
 Watchin' waves before me part
 But I settled for safer harbors of my heart
 I'm a lucky man
 I'm the envy of my peers
 I never ask for favors
 Oh, and I never show my fears
 Surrounded by too many friends
 I am a one-man band
 With all the trappings of a life
 Lived second-hand
 I could have been a sailor
 Rollin' through the night
 My sails before the wind
 Where the star's my only light
 I could have been a dreamer
 Yeah, but dreams just fall apart
 So, I settled for safer harbors of my heart
 And I take pleasure in my quiet
 Hearth and happy home
 I never gave my heart
 Its chance to roam
 I could have been a sailor
 And sailed the seven seas
 Is the wind in your face all day
 And can you taste the salty breeze?
 I could have been a dreamer
 And watch the waves before me part
 But I settled for safer harbors
 Oh, sailor, sailed the seven seas
 Is the wind in your face all day?
 I can taste the salty breeze
 Oh lover, I can see the waves before you part
 Well, I settled for safer harbors of my heart, of my heart
