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...
