Farewell nightmares, I am free
Welcomes dreams 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 feel her as I lie awake
But she's back home still waiting alone
When the morning breaks
Post war novels keep us alive
And 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
'Cause I'll always keep you in my heart
Crashing white caps keep us alive
And she knows I'll be dying to see her
The 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
