Sometimes I wish I was a sailor
Way out on the stormy sea
Far away from the city and all this misery
And I wish that I could tell you
Just how much you mean to me
No matter where I run to, I'll never lose your memory
Sometimes I close my eyes and drift away
I can't forget the things I didn't say
I chose a life that took me away from you
And I will be forever blue
When you wake up in tomorrow
And I'm no longer by your side
Just don't think too much about me
And of the many times you've cried
And wherever you may wander
May good fortune be your guide
Go find another lover
One who'll never leave your side
Sometime I close my eyes and drift away
I chose a life that took me away from you
And I will be forever blue
