Verse 1
(w/piano, bass, and acoustic guitar)
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
There's lots of those friendly people
They're showing me ways to go
But I never want to lose their inspiration
Chorus
(w/piano, bass, and acoustic guitar 1st time)
Time for
Cool change
I know that it's time
For a cool change
And now that my life
Is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a
Cool change
[1 (w/full band): D/E E]
Verse 2
Well, I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales they are my brothers
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
[repeat chorus]
Bridge
I've never been romantic
And sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air

Verse 3
composite of first two verses):
(w/piano)
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
(bass, acoustic guitar, and strings enter)
It's kind of a special feeling
Out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
[repeat chorus 2X w/vocals; continue w/strings & sax to fade]
