Waiting at the water's edge Watching all the ships As they are heading for the harbor 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, uu 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, uu 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
