Sailing Away Lyrics - Singles - Chris De Burgh

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 disappear 

Reading out the names of all the places I have 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 lights, 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...
