[Verse 1] We set our course on a midnight tide With our pillows packed by the starboard side From the docks of home to the open blue There’s a comfort waiting for me and you [Pre-Chorus] The waves may crash and the wind may roar But we’ll sleep like kings on a cotton shore Raise your mugs and sing with me For the softest dreams on the restless sea [Chorus] Oh, I didn’t mean to fall in love (fall in love) With every cloud-like quilt above (drifting high) From bow to stern we dream so free On a thousand threadcounts under the sea Oh, I didn’t mean to fall in love (fall in love) But this comfort fits me like a glove Sailing sweet in harmony On a thousand threadcounts under the sea [Spoken Hook] (Confident warm male voice) Sail through the night with legendary comfort Where every stitch is crafted for dreamers of the deep. [Verse 2] We’ve braved the squalls and the stormy black But we always find our slumber back On the finest weave that a hand can spin Where the gentle dreams and the dawn begin [Pre-Chorus] The lanterns fade as the crew lies down On the softest decks of this sea-born town Close your eyes, let worries flee Let the ocean rock you tenderly [Chorus] Oh, I didn’t mean to fall in love (fall in love) With every cloud-like quilt above (drifting high) From bow to stern we dream so free On a thousand threadcounts under the sea Oh, I didn’t mean to fall in love (fall in love) But this comfort fits me like a glove Sailing sweet in harmony On a thousand threadcounts under the sea [Spoken Slogan] (Confident warm male voice) Count your blessings, count your dreams, Count each thread in every seam. When the numbers rise like the ocean’s swell, You’ll know you’ve found the place you rest well. [Bridge] (Soft female harmony) Drifting slow where the whitecaps gleam Wrapped in the heart of a sailor’s dream I never knew that a bed could be Like a harbor safe on an endless sea [Chorus] Oh, I didn’t mean to fall in love (fall in love) With every cloud-like quilt above (drifting high) From bow to stern we dream so free On a thousand threadcounts under the sea Oh, I didn’t mean to fall in love (fall in love) But this comfort fits me like a glove Sailing sweet in harmony On a thousand threadcounts under the sea [Outro] So here’s to the craftsman who dared to try To weave our dreams where the gulls still cry From the shore of hope to the ocean’s crest We lay our heads where the sleep is best
