Tom Paxton - Outward Bound lyrics
[Tom Paxton - Outward Bound lyrics]
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
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios
May they find whatever they are looking for
Remember when the wine was
Better than ever before
We could not ask, we could not ask for more
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
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
