Sailing away

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;


Chris de Burgh ... "Sailing Away"


I'm not sure if sailing is in his cards, but swimming sure is.


"Happy birthday Mommy.  Thanks for taking me to swimming lessons."
