Sailing Away

Waiting at the water's edge
Watching all the ships
As they are heading for the harbor 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
