Sail Away to the Sea lyrics

The hands on the clock keep turning around

They point to the time of the day

The time means nothing with you by my side

Though sometime I'll be on my way

Down the road to where I must go

There's nothing between you and me

I'll take a boat down the river, my love

And sail away to the sea

I'll sail away to the sea

What will you take to remember me by?

I've no money to buy you a smile

I can't say the words to bid you farewell

So I'll carry them with me awhile

Down the road to where I must go

There's nothing between you and me

I'll take a boat down the river, my love

And sail away to the sea

I'll sail away to the sea

You'll wave goodbye till I pass out of sight

As you're waving goodbye for good

I can't even take you part of the way

I only wish that I could

Down the road to where I must go

There's nothing between you and me

I'll take a boat down the river, my love

And sail away to the sea

I'll sail away to the sea
