And everybody knows that,
I've had my share of fair-weather lovers,
They always leave just ahead of the rain.
Searchin' for sunshine and lookin' for pleasure,
Two steps ahead of the last hurricane.
If this is a chance then I'm gonna take it.
Heaven knows, I've taken chances before.
It's hard to live with your eyes on the sparrow,
Unless you first take your feet off the shore.

There's not a cloud up in the sky.
Give me one good reason why
We should set our sails for somewhere
Other than the sunny side of nowhere.
Freedom's in the eagle's wing, baby.
Listen to those seagulls sing, maybe,
Love is just a porpoise,
Playin' in the tropical sun.

You know, that ocean gets big when you're halfway across it.
And this ship of love's seen a lot of bad days.
Sometimes it's harder to row with the current,
Most of my life I've just rocked on the waves.
If this is a game then I'm gonna play it.
I need your love like those sails need wind.
Just climb aboard, girl, and pull up the anchor,
Now is the time for our love to begin.

There's not a cloud up in the sky.
Give me one good reason why
We should set our sails for somewhere

Freedom's in the eagle's wing, baby.
Listen to those seagulls sing, maybe,
Love is just a porpoise,
Playin' in the tropical sun.

Let me tell you girl that ocean gets big
When you're halfway across it.
And this ship of love's seen,
A lot of bad days.

woah, now, there's not a cloud up in the sky.
Not a cloud up in the sky.
Not a cloud up in the sky.
Oh, give me one good reason why...

Instrumental break.

Spoken: It's a fairytale morning.
