Sailing away
Waiting at the water's edge,
watching all the ships as they are heading for the harbour wall,
i was just a boy, i was just a boy,
dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world;
Watching as they disappear,
reading out the names of all the places i have never been,
looking out to sea, staring out to sea,
dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of the wide world;
I wish i was sailing away, sailing away,
sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight;
Walking down another street,
underneath the red lights, i am watching where the shadows fall,
looking at the girls, listening to the girls,
dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world;
I wish i was sailing away, sailing away,
sailing away, in your arms tonight,
in your arms tonight;
I wish i was sailing away, sailing away,
sailing away, with you now, with you now...
