Lord Grenville Lyrics

Lord Grenville lyrics

Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn

It's time to haul the anchor up and leave the land astern

We'll be gone before the dawn returns

Like voices on the wind



Go and tell Lord Grenville that our dreams have run aground

There's nothing here to keep us in this shanty town

None of us are caring where we're bound

Like voices on the wind



And come the day you'll hear them saying

They're throwing it all away

Nothing more to say, just throwing it all away



Go and fetch the captain's log and tear the pages out

We're on our way to nowhere now, can't bring the helm about

None of us are left in any doubt

We won't be back again



Send a message to the fleet they'll search for us in vain

We won't be there among the reaches of the Spanish Main

Tell the ones we left home not to wait

Won't be back again



And come the day you'll hear them saying

They're throwing it all away

Nothing more to say, just throwing it all away



Our time is just a point along a line

That runs forever with no end

I never thought that we would come to find

Ourselves upon these rocks again, oh no



Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn
