One
R. Winchester Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just out in the harbor
All the ships asleep
Maybe one cold watchman
Walks a lonely beat
Way out on the water
A ship is under sail
Leaving wavy starlight
And a dreamer in her trail

I wave bye bye
I pray God speed
I wish lovely weather
More luck than you need
You'll only sail in circles
So there's no need to cry
No, I'll see you again one day
And then I waved bye bye

The sailing ship reminds me
Of a certain girl
Who left a certain dreamer
To sail into the world
I've very friendly post-cards
From very far away
But they just remind me
Of a certain day

I wave bye bye
I pray God speed
I wish lovely weather
And all the luck that you need
You'll only sail in circles
So there's no need to cry




No, I'll see you again one day
And then I waved bye bye

Line by Line Meaning

Just out in the harbor
Looking out into the harbor


All the ships asleep
The ships are dormant


Maybe one cold watchman
There may be a watchman keeping vigil


Walks a lonely beat
Patrolling alone with no company


Way out on the water
Far out at sea


A ship is under sail
A vessel is cruising


Leaving wavy starlight
Creating a trail of shimmering light


And a dreamer in her trail
With a dreamer following in her wake


I wave bye bye
Bidding farewell with a wave


I pray God speed
Wishing for a safe and swift journey


I wish lovely weather
Hoping for favorable conditions


More luck than you need
Wishing an abundance of good fortune


You'll only sail in circles
Not making any progress


So there's no need to cry
No reason to shed tears


No, I'll see you again one day
We will reunite someday


And then I waved bye bye
Departing with one final wave


The sailing ship reminds me
The ship evokes memories


Of a certain girl
Of a particular young woman


Who left a certain dreamer
Who departed from a particular dreamer


To sail into the world
To venture out into the world


I've very friendly post-cards
I have received kind postcards


From very far away
From a remote location


But they just remind me
But they trigger memories


Of a certain day
Of a particular day


And all the luck that you need
Wishing for all the good fortune required
