Lyrics

It's been a long course we've travelled
Far and away on a distant track
A heavy load to unravel
We could count the days with the wind at our backs
Time after time we're cutting our losses
When these sails will fill, God only knows
Running forever, changing courses
Still, we wait and wait on waters unknown
These are the days and the times
We know they're numbered
As we steal on like thieves in the night
We can only wonder
Are we sailin' on, on to the last sunset
Sailin' on and on and on, on to the last sunset
In the failing light of a sinking sun
Comes a cry from down below
Cannon shot beneath the waterline
Where the shattered timbers hold the gold
Taken from a raid off the coast of Panama
On through the jungles to Venta Cruz
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
All that we've come for, only to lose
Heave the main carronade overboard
Save for the long guns fore and aft
All hands make for the cutter there
Just a league to pull and we'll raise the land
Are we sailin' on, on to the last sunset
On and on and on and on, on to the last sunset
Sailin' on and on and on, on to the last sunset
On and on and on and on, on to the last sunset
Now we're sailin' on, on to the last sunset
On to the last sunset
On to the last sunset
