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...
