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...
