Chris Deburgh Sailing Lyrics

Sailing Lyrics

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...
