Sail away to the Sea

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
