Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Sailing away with you tonight, with you tonight
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Sailing away in your arms tonight, in your arms tonight
[Verse 6]
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Sailing away, with you now, with you now
