Outward Bound Lyrics - The Compleat Tom Paxton - Tom Paxton

Outward bound upon a ship that sails no ocean 

Outward bound, it has no crew but me and you 

All alone when just a minute ago the shore was filled with people 

With people that we knew 

Outward bound upon a journey without ending 

Outward bound, uncharted waters beneath our bow 

Far behind, the green familiar shore is fading into time 

And time has left us now 

So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios 

May they find whatever they are looking for 

Remember when the wine was better than ever again 

We could not ask, we could not ask for more 

Outward bound upon a ship with tattered sail 

Outward bound upon a crooked lonesome trail 

Things we learn, we'll just be satisfied in knowing 

And we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale 

So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios 

May they find whatever they are looking for 

Remember when the wine was better than ever again 

We could not ask, we could not ask for more 

So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios 

May they find whatever they are looking for 

Remember when the wine was better than ever again 

We could not ask, we could not ask for more 

We could not ask, we could not ask for more
