Melanie Hammet – C Columbus lyrics

some men are born with strong hearts
that raging tides won't tear apart
but not me
i am Christopher Columbus
it was 1987 when i sailed away to the edge of my sea
it was an uncertain start
i was born with an unsteady heart
but it was all i had to guide me
CHORUS
some men are born with strong hearts
to brave the wind and water
some hearts stay whole on an endless sea
some men are born with strong hearts
that raging tides won't tear apart
but not me
last night i had a bad dream
i believe that i was drowning somewhere in
an unknown pool
and god, i am a young man
cannot remember where i am
find me a map, fine me a clue
CHORUS
i am Christopher Columbus
i am living in El Paso
every day is a fever - i try not to burn
and i am Christopher Columbus
alive, living in El Paso
and i walk the roof
to wait for my return
