Strawbs - Sail Away To The Sea lyrics

rate me

The hands on the clock keep turning round<br />

They point to the time of the day<br />

The time means nothing with you by my side<br />

Though some time I'll be on my way.<br />

<br />

Down the road to where I must go<br />

There's nothing between you and me<br />

I'll take a boat down the river my love<br />

And sail away to the sea<br />

I'll sail away to the sea.<br />

<br />

What will you take to remember me by<br />

I've no money to buy you a smile<br />

I can't say the words to bid you farewell<br />

So I'll carry them with me a while.<br />

<br />

You'll wave goodbye 'till I pass out of sight<br />

As you're waving goodbye for good<br />

I can't even take you part of the way<br />

I only wish that I could.
