lyrics

Sailor boy, I’ve been dreaming of going away with you
Let’s leave the shore far behind us head out where the seas and the skies are blue

Just the two of us, forever on the swaying of the tide
Just the two of us, forever on the swaying of the tide
Sailor boy, just me and you

Sailor boy, promise you’ll write me while you are away, every day
I’ll wait by my door for the letter that will say, ‘Darling, stay’

Just the two of us, forever on the swaying of the tide
Just the two of us, forever on the swaying of the tide
Sailor boy, just me and you

Sailor boy, you’ve been gone for so long far away from me
And now I’m sure that with you is the only place I wanna be

Just the two of us, forever on the swaying of the tide
Just the two of us, forever on the swaying of the tide
Sailor boy, just me and you

The boats, the roads, the sand, the sea
The sailors, the maidens, you and me
The shore, the waves, the land, the tide
When will we be side by side

Just the two of us, forever on the swaying of the tide
Just the two of us, forever on the swaying of the tide
Sailor boy, just me and
Sailor boy, just me and
Sailor boy, just me and you
