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
