man who's been out sailing
on a decade full of dreams
And he takes her to his schooner
and he treats her like a queen bear
ing beats from California
with her amber stones and green
he has called her from the harbor
he has kissed her with his freedom
he has heard her off to starboard
In the breaking and the breathing
While she was busy being free
Now he's calling out her name
And he hopes her heart can hear
3 ,000 miles he calls again.
He can miss her just the same.
He has missed her in the forest
while he showed her all the
as he climbs the scaly tower
There's a man who sends a letter,
now he's waiting for a reply
He has asked her of her travels,
since the day they said goodbye
He writes, wish you were beside me,
we could make it if we tried
He has seen her at the office,
with her name on all his pa
Through the sharing of the profits,
he will find it hard to shake
Because she's just so busy
There's a lady in the city
And she thinks she loves them all
There's the one who sometimes cries,
there's the one who writes her letters
With his facts and figures strong
She has brought them to her senses
They are left inside her laughter
Now she rallies her defenses
For she fears that one will ask
Because she's just so busy
There's the man who sends her medals
He is bleeding from the warms
There's a jouster and a jester
and a man who owns a star
There's a drama and a dream
and you know there may be more
She will love them when she
They will lose her if they follow
And she only means to please them
And her heart is full and hollow
And she's so busy being free
