Steady As She Goes

Farewell 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 feel her as I lie awake
But she's back home still waiting alone when 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 whitecaps 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
