Sailing Away
Dreaming of the Wide World: A Tale of Yearning and Adventure
Lyrics
Waiting at the water's edge
Expresses anticipation and readiness at the shoreline.
Watching all the ships
Observing various ships navigating towards the harbor.
As they are heading for the harbor wall
Noting the ships approaching the harbor wall.
I was just a boy, I was just a boy
Reflecting on childhood when he was merely a dreamer.
Dreaming of the wide world
Imagining the vastness of the world while still young.
Dreaming of the wide world
Reiterating the dream of exploring the wide world.
Watching as they disappear
Observing ships disappearing on the horizon.
Reading out the names
Reading names of places never visited, creating a sense of yearning.
Of all the places I have never been
Contemplating the destinations he has yet to experience.
Looking out to sea, staring out to sea
Gazing out to sea and dreaming of a broader world.
Dreaming of a wide world
Reiterating the dream of a vast and diverse world.
Dreaming of the wide world, uu
Emphasizing the longing for a broad and open world.
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Expressing a desire to embark on a sailing adventure.
Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight
Specifically yearning to sail away with a significant other.
Walking down another street
Shifting the scene to a different location or mindset.
Underneath the red lights
Noting the presence of red lights, possibly indicating nightlife.
I am watching where the shadows fall
Observing where shadows fall, suggesting a contemplative mood.
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls
Noticing and listening to the girls, possibly alluding to romantic thoughts.
Dreaming of a new world,
Dreaming of a new and different world.
Dreaming of that new world, uu
Reiterating the dream of a novel and unexplored world.
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Reiterating the desire to sail away, emphasizing the longing.
Sailing away, in your arms tonight
Expressing a wish to sail away in the arms of a loved one.
In your arms tonight
Repeating the desire to be in the arms of a loved one.
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Expressing the ongoing wish to sail away, now specifying 'with you now.'
Sailing away, with you now, with you now
Reiterating the desire to sail away with the present company.
