Clear Sailin' (Chris Hillman/Rick Roberts/Richard Marx)


I hear it's clear sailin' up ahead
and the north winds blowing change
And our lives intertwine
in a twisted tangled maze
Can you tell me
where we're goin' from here

Yes I've turned my back on you Jesus
and I hope that you understand
Seems like everybody's got an answer
and nobody's got a plan

'cause I felt buried buried alive
Satan I sure know your sign
And this feeling deep inside
Makes we wanna shrivel up and die
and I still find myself asking why

I've been rocked on the sea of emotion
blown from the sea of pain
This blackened mist is slowly clearing
gone with the warm summer rain

I feel my life changing with the tide
and the tide changing with the breeze
I hear everybody's explanation
and nothin' that I believe

'cause I felt buried buried alive
Satan I sure know your sign
And this feeling deep inside
Makes we wanna shrivel up and die
and I still find myself asking why

Buried buried alive
Satan I sure know your sign
And this feeling deep inside
Makes we wanna shrivel up and die
and I still find myself asking why


I hear it's clear sailin'
I hear it's clear sailin'
I hear it's clear sailin'
I hear it's clear sailin'
I hear it's clear sailin'
