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
uo~~
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
uo~~
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
