Sailing Away - Chris De Burgh

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…
