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 onthe 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

 We 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.

 

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