Verse 1:
(w/piano, bass, and acoustic guitar)
If there s one thing in my life that s missing
It s the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
There s lots of those friendly people
They re showing me ways to go
/
But I never want to lose their inspiration
Chorus:
(w/piano, bass, and acoustic guitar 1st time)
Time for
Cool change
I know that it s time
For a cool change
And now that my life
Is so prearranged
I know that it s time for a
Cool change
[1 (w/full band): D/E E]
Verse 2:
Well, I was born in the sign of water
And it s there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales they are my brothers
It s kind of a special feeling
When you re out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
[repeat chorus]

I ve never been romantic
And sometimes I don t care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air

Staring at the full moon like a lover
