My Dear Someone

I wanna go all over the world,
And start living free
I know that there's somebody who,
Is waiting for me
I'll build a boat, steady and true
As soon as it's done,
I'm gonna sail along in a dream,
Of my dear someone

One little star, smilin' tonight
Knows where he lies
Stay, little star, steady and bright,
To guide me afar
Rush, little wind, over the deep,
For now I've begun

Hurry and take me straight into the arms,
Of my dear someone

Hurry and take me into the arms,
Of my dear someone

Aqui uma entrevista ao "The New Yorker", com delicioso título "The Ghostly Ones".
