King of the ocean, riding the seven seas But every thought of you is floating on the breeze Every thought of you is floating on the breeze Left to find Kingdoms but leaving a kingdom behind Oh every thought of you is always on my mind Every thought of you is always on my mind Oh, your memory stronger than a thousand ships of war to call me home And though it's glory I'm chasing it's from glory I run Cos those glory days are done! But I won't break, even when the earth around me shakes - When the things that built us up have brought us down Sometimes you have to leave the things you love for love! Your siren's sigh, your whisper always louder than your cry But your memory lives long beyond goodbye But now I know that I have to leave and can't come back for you Remember the winters, light hearts and the lonely trees
They're the memories I'll always keep with me They're the memories I always keep with me The wide world between us, still see you with each young sun But now I have to tell myself those days are done Now I have to tell myself those days are done! Oh, your memory stronger than a thousand ships of war to call me home And though it's glory I'm chasing it's from glory I run Cos those glory days are done! But I won't break, even when the earth around me shakes - When the things that built us up have brought us down Sometimes you have to leave the things you love for love! Your siren's sigh, your whisper always louder than your cry But your memory lives long beyond goodbye But now I know that I have to leave and can't come back for you
