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...
