When I was a young boy
|
I wanted to sail around the world
|
That's the life for me, living on the sea
|
Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe
|
The lust of a pioneer, will acknowledge
|
No frontier
|
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
|
Lightning flash, tempers flare,
|
'round the horn if you dare
|
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
|
Lucky just to keep afloat
|
|
Aotearoa, rugged individual
|
Glisten like a pearl
|
At the bottom of the world
|
The tyranny of distance
|
Didn't stop the cavalier
|
So why should it stop me
|
I'll conquer and stay free
|
Ah c'mon all you lads
|
Let's forget and forgive
|
There's a world to explore
|
Tales to tell back on shore
|
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
|
Six months in a leaky boat
|
|
Ship-wrecked love can be cruel
|
Don't be fooled by her kind
|
There's a wind in my sails
|
Will protect and prevail
|
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
|
Nothing to it leaky boat.
