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 disapper,

Reading out the names of all the places I hav 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 light, 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...
