Lyrics

There’s an imaginary sailor
On an imaginary sea
On a dream of a sailboat
Imaginary me
I’m off to seek adventure
Whatever I can find
On some imaginary island in my mind

(Chorus)
So it's heave ho, matey.
Let the four winds blow
Wherever they may blow that's where I'll be
and it’s clear skies
that should come as no surprise
The man who makes the weather here is me
So it’s smooth sailing far as I can see

I’ve got the hold full of provisions
That I picked up along the way
Got enough to last forever
No, forever and a day
Got lots of food & drink and laughter
Time to think and time for song
if you wanna go then I’ll take you along

So it's heave ho, matey.
Let the four winds blow
Wherever they may blow I know I'm free
and it’s clear skies
that should come as no surprise
The man who makes the weather here is me
So it’s smooth sailing far as I can see

The books I’ve read, the folks I’ve known
Have filled my mind with wonder
Their tales have taken me
From way up north to way down under
By the stars, it ain't that far
From where I was to where I are
It may not be a long weigh
To where I wanna be
Eventually
Imagination meets reality

So it's heave ho, matey.
Let the four winds blow
Wherever I may go that's where I’ll be
and it’s clear skies
that should come as no surprise
The man who makes the weather here is me
So it’s smooth sailing far as I can see

There’s an imaginary sailor
On an imaginary sea
On a dream of a sailboat
Imaginary me
