lyrics

Sometimes you’re sailing on an open sea
Sometimes you catch the perfect storm
Sometimes you’re soaking up the midday sun
Sometimes you can’t get warm

And if I told you that you try too hard 
you need to give yourself a break
Nobody promised you the stars above
It ain’t all give-and-take

But, on the right day
At just the right time
 at just the moment when you’ve left it all behind
Sometimes you feel it
your buried treasure
The love you wanted, what you thought you’d never find

It’s the schemer, not the scheme
You got lost inside a dream
Somehow you thought you had a chance
Don’t get lost, some get found
Sometimes the beat gets turned around
When the dancer gives up the dance

But, on the right day
At just the right time
 at just the moment when you’ve left it all behind
Sometimes you feel it
your buried treasure
The love you wanted, what you thought you’d never find

It’s the schemer, not the scheme
You got lost inside a dream
Somehow you thought you had a chance
Don’t get lost, some get found
Sometimes the beat gets turned around
When the dancer gives up the dance

Patience, sweet dreams (sunrise)
Wait for your chance
fate comes, finds you
Your turn to dance

It’s the schemer, not the scheme
You got lost inside a dream
Somehow you thought you had a chance
Don’t get lost, some get found
Sometimes the beat gets turned around
When the dancer gives up the dance
