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
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
